Perito Moreno Glacier is located 85 kilometers from El Calafate.

Then you navigate to another canal to go to the Seco and Spegazzini Glaciers. After seeing this glacier, you are invited to disembark in Base Spegazzini where you can do a trekking trail through the medium height forest or you can go to the shelter where you can have lunch.
