Perito Moreno Glacier entrance fee and daily tickets
The Perito Moreno Glacier entrance fee is charged for visiting Los Glaciares National Park. From 1 June 2026, the general daily rate is 50,000 ARS. This category applies to foreign visitors who do not qualify for another rate. Budget for the park admission separately when comparing a journey from El Calafate, a boat trip or a guided walk on the ice.
The national park's rate table also lists a Nacional daily rate of 25,000 ARS, a Provincial rate of 8,000 ARS and a student rate of 15,000 ARS. Each category has its own eligibility and evidence requirements. Carry identification or a passport, and choose the category that corresponds to your circumstances rather than the one that looks cheapest.
These are park charges in Argentine pesos. The amount paid for an excursion can cover a different combination of transport, guiding and activities. Read the chosen option's inclusions alongside the admission charge to work out the cost of your day. The excursion overview explains the different ways to visit.
A guided visit
Our take: This walkway visit combines a local guide with hotel pickup.
Hand-picked tours, booked through Viator. Prices are indicative starting prices in US dollars (as of October 2026). Tap a tour for live availability and the current price in your currency.
A guided visit to the glacier
A guided excursion offers a way to plan the journey and the time at the glacier; allow separately for park admission.
Who qualifies for reduced admission?
The Nacional and Provincial categories depend on the visitor's qualifying status. The student category requires an Argentine DNI and proof of study in Argentina issued within the preceding 12 months. An overseas student card alone is therefore not the condition described for this rate. Keep the relevant documents together with your park ticket so that the category can be checked at entry.
The park lists exemptions for several groups, including people with disabilities. A foreign disability document is accepted, and an accompanying person is covered where the need for assistance is documented. The park also lists Argentine pensioners with DNI. Eligibility for an exemption depends on the stated conditions, so consult the current park rules for the documents relevant to your party.
Children's eligibility deserves particular attention when a child is exactly six: the published provisions use different wording for that age. Check the current rule directly with the park for your family before arranging tickets. This matters for a budget even when everyone travels together on the same excursion.
Second day and three-day flexipass
A second visit to the same park within 72 hours receives a 50 percent reduction. Keep your admission evidence and identification available when arranging the return. This is useful if you want separate days for the glacier walkways and another activity, rather than trying to fit every viewpoint into one visit.
The general three-day flexipass is 100,000 ARS under the rates effective from 1 June 2026. It is personal and non-transferable. Its days can be used consecutively or separately within six months in the same park. The park sells the flexipass online. Consider the actual days you intend to spend in Los Glaciares when comparing it with a daily ticket and a second-day reduction.
The park also lists a seven-day pass. Its general price appears differently in the available official material, so obtain the current amount from the park when considering that pass. Los Glaciares and the El Chaltén entrance are listed separately in the rate table; check how your chosen ticket applies to each part of your itinerary.
Buying a ticket and planning the visit
The park's online purchase process uses a credit or debit card, visitor details and email validation. Its terms say that ordinary online tickets are generally non-changeable and non-refundable, subject to a special administrative rule. Enter the visit details carefully and retain the confirmation with your identification.
Admission is one part of the plan. The opening hours distinguish the last entry from the time visitors must leave the walkways. If you are arranging your own transport, the journey from El Calafate is a separate decision. Boat navigation and guided ice walks are distinct activities, so compare their terms and departure arrangements with your park visit.
