Trekking on Perito Moreno with walkways and transfer
This Trekking requires approximately 3 hours of trekking between ice and moraine, just like the traditional Minitrekking, but it is much more physically intense due to the pace of walking (almost twice the distance is covered in the same time) and the large amount of earrings. The walk on the ice with crampons lasts approximately one hour, it is done 1km west of the traditional Minitrekking area and you can see crevasses, lagoons, seracs and other incredible glacial formations. You also visit an immense waterfall a few meters from the glacier and the toast is made on the boat returning to the port.
