Tour Description

Day 2
Big Ice Trek on the Perito Moreno Glacier*
Los Glaciares National Park
After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, we will pick you up for a nearly 90-minute journey to Los Glaciares National Park.
Immediately after disembarking, you'll witness the grandeur of the Perito Moreno Glacier, but the true adventure begins at the "Bajo de las Sombras" port. Here, we'll board a boat to cross the Brazo Rico of Lake Argentino, reaching the western shore.
We'll traverse a section of the forest, and mountain guides will lead you closer to the glacier to equip your shoes with crampons, marking the start of your trek.
The trail follows the southern moraine of the Perito Moreno Glacier, and within just over an hour, you'll arrive at a breathtaking viewpoint, where we will step onto the ice.
Once on the glacier, you'll discover a world transformed: azure lagoons, deep crevices, immense sinkholes, enchanting caves, and the unparalleled feeling of being amid the glacier's heart.
You'll be guided by experts throughout the approximately three-and-a-half-hour exploration, delving into the unique features of this extraordinary glacier. The guides will also provide insights into the ice and its environment.
Enjoy a half-hour lunch break on the pristine ice, soaking in a scene of unparalleled beauty.
Returning to the moraine, you'll embark on another hour-long walk to reach the boat. The vessel will navigate close to the glacier's southern face before heading back to the port, concluding one of the most remarkable ice treks available.
The excursion includes a half-hour stroll along the walkways facing the glacier.
In the late afternoon, after nearly 12 hours of this amazing adventure, you'll be transported back to your hotel in El Calafate.
* The Big Ice excursion is available for those aged 18 to 50. If you are younger than 18 or older than 50, the service can be substituted with "Minitrekking on the Glacier," which includes a 90-minute glacier experience.
