About El Calafate Glacier Tours

A guide for your days on Lago Argentino

El Calafate Glacier Tours is an independent guide for everyone who wants to see the glaciers of Los Glaciares National Park from El Calafate. Here you will find how the boat trip to the Upsala and Spegazzini glaciers works, what else to see in and around town, which ice walk suits you, how many days to plan, and how to get there.

The site is available in English and five additional languages. It is written first in English.

How we research

Every number on our pages comes from a source that we link to at the bottom of the page: the Argentine national parks administration, the El Calafate tourism office, NASA Earth Observatory, the operators' own pages, and the climate data from NOAA. Information on tours, that is duration, languages, inclusions, and starting prices, is taken from the offers on GetYourGuide. If a source does not provide something, we do not write it.

A glacier front cannot be booked to look its best. That is why we also tell you when wind or ice can change a trip, and how the Upsala Glacier has changed since the 1980s.

How we make money

El Calafate Glacier Tours is funded through the GetYourGuide affiliate program. When you book through one of our links, we receive a commission; your price remains the same. There are no advertising banners here, and we do not sell your data.
