Blue Safari: ride near Perito Moreno
I lived the Blue Safari: a unique experience next to the Perito Moreno Glacier Designed for those who dream of coming face to face with ice, this tour combines sailing, hiking and an intimate connection with one of the most imposing glaciers in the world.
The adventure begins in El Calafate with the transfer to Los Glaciares National Park. From Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, we cross Lake Rico by boat and, after a 20-minute sailing, disembark in front of the majestic south wall of the glacier.
Along a guided walk of 11⁄2 hours, we skirt the ice enjoying spectacular views and the possibility of witnessing landslides that shake the landscape. As we reach the edge of the glacier, we will have time to take in its intense shades of blue and white, and capture memories with incredible photographs.
A contemplative, exciting and close excursion to the wildest nature of Patagonia. Booked with Patagonia Dreams and lived the ice like never before.
