Yes, it is highly recommended to book activities at Perito Moreno Glacier in advance, especially during the high season (from October to March) when tourist traffic is higher. Popular activities such as Minitrekking and Big Ice often have limited spots due to group restrictions and safety logistics. If you´re looking to walk over the ice of this amazing colossus of ice… book in advance!!

Reasons to book in advance

  1. Limited spots: These activities have a maximum number of participants per day, so they can sell out quickly.
  2. High season: In summer (December to February), demand increases significantly, and many excursions are booked weeks in advance.
  3. Itinerary planning: Booking in advance ensures you can coordinate your activities and make the most of your visit.
  4. Security of your spot: You’ll avoid inconveniences of arriving and finding no availability.

Which activities require a reservation?

  • Minitrekking and Big Ice: These activities must be booked ahead of time as they are operated by a single authorized company (Hielo y Aventura).
  • Glacier boat tours: Although they have more capacity, it’s still better to secure them in advance. Some activities like Glaciers Gourmet Cruise, or Boat navigation to Estancia Cristina may require bookings in advance.
