Upon reaching Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, located just 7 km from the walkways, we’ll follow our seasoned guide and embark on a boat to cross Lake Rico. After a scenic 20-minute sail, we’ll disembark on the far shore. Gradually, we’ll traverse a natural landscape of sand and stones, encountering some slopes and stairs, all while enjoying views of the glacier's southern wall, hoping to witness a dramatic collapse, until we arrive at the ice to touch the iconic Perito Moreno Glacier!
We'll take our time to soak in its breathtaking forms and hues, capturing countless photos before heading back to the boarding area. On the return boat journey, you'll marvel at the glacier’s face and the intricate details of the icy marbled wall.
Back at the port, we'll hop on the bus to the walkways, where you'll have 2 hours to relish the stunning panoramic vistas and enjoy some free time for lunch (not included).
