The flight begins on board a small aircraft with capacity of up to 8 passengers, ideal for this type of excursion, with panoramic windows that capture the majesty of the landscape. The aircraft will fly next to the Perito Moreno Glacier, giving you privileged views of its impressive ice walls, its cracks and the powerful force that characterizes it. As the flight progresses, you will see the glacier from different angles, also flying over the Andes Mountains and the mountain peaks of the area, which will allow you to appreciate the extent of this natural wonder and famous mountains such as Torres del Paine in Chile in the distance.



The flight also includes views of other nearby glacial formations, such as the Upsala and Spegazzini glaciers, giving you an idea of the magnitude and diversity of the region's glacial landscape. The scenery is breathtaking: snow-capped mountains, deep blue lakes and, of course, the glaciers, which seem to emerge from the heart of the mountain range, creating an unrivalled postcard.

The flight lasts approximately 1 hour, depending on weather conditions. Throughout the flight, the pilot will provide detailed information about the natural environment, the history of the glaciers and the biodiversity of the area. Once the flight is over, you will return to the airport, where transportation will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in El Calafate if this service has been included.
