EXCURSIÓN PERITO MORENO DÍA COMPLETO + CAMINATA POR HIELO

Early in the morning, your transfer will pick you up from your accommodation in El Calafate and take you to the immense Perito Moreno Glacier, a very active glacier on the south arm of Lake Argentino.

We invite you to take part in an unforgettable, unique and exciting adventure, walking with us on the stunning icefield and glacier.

The excursion begins in the embarking pier located in Bajo de las Sombras Bay about 6 KM before the glacier viewing balconies – where you embark for 20 minutes navigation across the Rico Arm, enjoying breathtaking views of the glacier’s front walls and icebergs channel.

You disembark on the opposite shore and hike 30 minutes through the forest to a small shelter where specialized mountain guides welcome you.

After checking the last details and completing a safety briefing, groups of up to 20 follow their guides along the lake’s shore towards the edge of the glacier.

Once on the ice, the guides put each participant a pair of crampons on, and explain the proper techniques of their use.

This two hour ice trek circuit introduces you to the fascinating landscape of the glaciers: streams, small lagoons, gullies, crevasses and plenty of ice formations of the most incredible blues.

You will receive explanations about flora, fauna and general glaciology of the region and also about the particular phenomenon that happens in the Perito Moreno Glacier and eventually produces its rupture.

Enjoy your premium box lunch and wine after a successful hike and later, your group will cross again by boat and returning to the peninsula.

Here you will proceed with the group to the balconies to view the magnificent glacier for approximately 1 hour. After snapping your last photos and enjoying the wonderful sights, you return to spend the night in the town of Calafate.
