Questions about travelling to El Calafate

Can El Calafate be combined with El Chaltén?
Yes, it's the classic Santa Cruz combo: 220 km along Route 40 (about 3 hours). Many travellers spend 2–3 nights in Calafate (glaciers) and 2–3 in Chaltén (trekking). We can help with transfers, hotels and excursions at each base.
Is it necessary to book Perito Moreno in advance?
The walkways don't require a booking, but in January and February it's worth arriving early. Boat trips and the mini-trekking on the ice do sell out — message us with your dates and we'll take care of it.
