What You Can't Miss
When is the best time to visit El Calafate?
October to April, the Patagonian summer, with long daylight hours and the most reliable boat schedules on Lago Argentino. December to February is the warmest and busiest stretch, so book the glacier activities early.
How long do I need for Perito Moreno?
One full day covers the walkways facing the glacier. Add a second day if you want to walk on the ice with crampons or take a boat towards the northern glaciers of the park.
Can I visit El Chalten from El Calafate?
Yes, it is about three hours by road. Give it at least two nights if you want to hike to Laguna de los Tres for the classic Fitz Roy view.
