What's included in the package

Itinerary

Live the Glacier from the inside, walk 01:00 HS on it, and walk the catwalks to admire it from another perspective, on the same day. They will not be able to carry out the activity under 10 years of age, or under 18 years of age without the written authorization of the parents, in case they do not carry out the activity with them. Would you like to enjoy one of the most fun activities in El Calafate? Dare to do a minitrekking in the Perito Moreno Glacier! The tour begins with the trip from El Calafate to the Bajo de las Sombras port (about an hour and a half), where you embark to cross Lake Rico. Groups of up to 20 people are formed, who take a 20-minute walk to the glacier and, once with the crampons on, begin the ascent. The tour lasts approximately 1:00 a.m. and you will be able to enjoy the ice formations; learn about the flora, fauna and glaciology of the region; and, especially, on the phenomenon of rupture of the glacier. Then, you return to the refuge through the Magellanic forest and, from there, you cross the Rico Arm of Lake Argentino to navigate in front of the glacier. You can also enjoy the view of Perito Moreno from the catwalks.
