Description
An immersive journey through time and nature
The tour begins with a dark hallway, set by the relaxing sound of water drops that evoke the thaw. From the first moment, surprise is guaranteed. Modern audiovisual resources narrate the formation of ice and the stories of explorers and scientists who dedicated their lives to unraveling these frozen landscapes. Fascinating photographs by Argentine artists such as Florian Von der Flecht, Daniel Wagner and Andrés Bonetti capture the essence of this frozen world and transport the visitor to glaciological times and the origin of the universe.
Tribute to Argentine greatness
An impressive model of the Patagonian Ice Field reveals the birth of glaciers, while a well-deserved tribute to the visionary Francisco Pascasio Moreno inspires visitors with his passion for the beauty of Argentina. Among the must-see attractions is the amazing phenomenon of the Perito Moreno Glacier: a natural dam that culminates in the spectacular break that makes it unique in the world.
Impact and environmental awareness
The tour culminates in a multisensory tunnel that, through simultaneous projections, highlights the urgent reality of climate change and its impact on the planet. This message of awareness becomes a legacy that every visitor carries with them.
Spaces that captivate all the senses
Exhibition Room: A versatile space that offers photography and painting samples, ideal for events or to enjoy traveling exhibitions while you take a break.
Auditorium/Cinema 'Alberto M. De Agostini': Experience the emotion of the documentary 'La Voz del Glaciar', with shocking images of the 2016 breakup captured by drones. This space also hosts events, talks and festivals related to glaciology, nature and adventure.
Eco-shop: A corner to take a little piece of Patagonia. Here you will find ecological crafts, design objects and items made with recycled or natural materials, such as pure wool. A way to promote balance between man and nature.
Cafeteria: Relax with a cup of coffee while taking in the magnificent views of Lake Argentino and the vast steppe. Ideal for breakfast, lunch or snacks, with the possibility of booking for groups.
Glaciarium is not just an interpretation center, it is a sensory and emotional journey that connects the visitor with the majesty of the glaciers and the commitment to preserving our planet. Don't miss it!

Correcto
Lo disfrutamos mucho, aunque hay cosas por mejorar. Fuimos con chicos y aguantaron perfecto el recorrido. El grupo no era enorme, lo que hizo todo más cómodo. La única queja es que no avisaron que había bastante escalera. Buena opción, sobre todo si es tu primera visita.

Superou as expectativas
Nada a reclamar, tudo saiu como estava descrito. Sai mais que fazer solto, mas poupa toda a organização. Se estiverem em El Calafate, não percam.

We came away delighted. We had enough time at Perito Moreno Glacier to take photos without rushing. We got more out of entrance to the Glaciarium than we expected. The guide answered even the oddest questions with real detail. Thank you for a great day out.

Simplemente perfecto. La explicación en Glaciar Perito Moreno nos dejó pensando.
Julieta C.
Nos gustó bastante, con un par de detalles menores. Glaciar Perito Moreno nos voló la cabeza, no esperábamos algo así. Comparé precios antes de reservar y esta era la opción más conveniente. El guía se apoyaba bastante en un guion, pero explicaba bien. El traslado desde el punto de encuentro hacia el Glaciarium vale por sí solo. El precio de las bebidas en el lugar es exagerado. Se puede mejorar, pero no me arrepiento de haberlo hecho.
