What's included in Perito Moreno Glacier Minitrekking Experience
(Subject to Option Inclusions)I lived the Glacier from the inside, walk on the famous Perito Moreno and walk the walkways to admire it from another perspective, on the same day. The walk begins with the journey from El Calafate to Bajo de las Sombras port (about an hour and a half), where you embark to cross Lago Rico. Groups of up to 20 people are formed, who take a 20-minute walk to the glacier and, once with the crampons on, the ascent begins. The tour lasts approximately 1 hs and you can enjoy the ice formations; learn about the flora, fauna and glaciology of the region; and, especially, about the phenomenon of glacier breakup. Then, return to the refuge through the Magellanic forest and, from there, cross the Rich Arm of Lake Argentina to navigate in front of the glacier. You can also enjoy the view of Perito Moreno from the walkways.
