Description

Discover a completely different perspective of Los Glaciares National Park with this exclusive helicopter experience flying over the Perito Moreno Glacier area. From the air, the Patagonian landscapes reveal their full immensity on a 30-minute flight that combines views of mountains, lakes, forests, and several glaciers in an unforgettable experience.

The excursion begins at the heliport located in Punta Bandera, at 50 km from El Calafate. Passengers who wish can add a transfer from their hotel in the city or travel to the heliport on their own. The helicopter model used is a Robinson 44 with a capacity of up to 3 passengers, offering, due to its design, excellent visibility thanks to a floor-to-ceiling front window with no visual obstruction. This aircraft is so reliable that it was the most produced and sold on the market between 1999 and 2017.

After being welcomed in the waiting area while the aircraft is being prepared, the flight begins towards the Iceberg Channel and the Magallanes Peninsula, following the western boundary of Los Glaciares National Park. As the helicopter flies, you will contemplate the immensity of the Patagonian landscape with snow-capped mountain ranges, remote valleys and intensely turquoise lakes.

During the tour, you will fly over the vicinity of Seno Mayo and Ameghino Bay, offering privileged views of the Ameghino Glacier and the most inaccessible corners of the park. Undoubtedly, the most breathtaking moment comes in front of the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier, where from the air you can appreciate its enormous ice walls descending from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field towards the waters of Lake Argentino.

The experience continues flying over the Buenos Aires Mountains and the Mitre River Valley, crossing extensive lenga forests and virtually untouched natural landscapes. Finally, the flight returns to the heliport with incredible panoramic views of the Patagonian steppe and the mountains surrounding El Calafate.
