Itinerary

Embark on a unique and unforgettable experience in the heart of Los Glaciares National Park. The journey begins in the 'Bajo de las Sombras' Port, where a boat will take us to cross the Brazo Rico to the west coast, a majestic landscape that anticipates what is to come.
Upon arrival, our expert guides will greet you to provide you with the details of the activity and divide us into small groups of 10 people, guaranteeing a more personalized experience. In the shelter located at the base, you can leave your belongings and prepare in comfort before embarking on the adventure.
We will enter a fascinating path through the Patagonian-Magallan Andean forest, a two-hour walk where the sounds of nature and the aroma of the forest will envelop you. The reward comes when you reach the southern moraine of the imposing Perito Moreno Glacier, where a breathtaking view will leave you speechless.
Break time for lunch with unforgettable views (we remind you that lunch is not included and must be brought from El Calafate, since there are no points of sale on site).
Once on the glacier, the world changes completely.
You will find yourself surrounded by crystal blue lagoons, deep crevasses, huge sinkholes and ice caves that seem straight out of a dream. The contrast of colors and shapes will make you feel like you are in a landscape from another planet. During the 3 and a half hour tour on the ice, our guides will not only ensure your safety, but will also immerse you in the history and secrets of the glaciers, their origin and the unique characteristics of this region.
The return will take us again through the Magellanic forest, where each step will allow you to assimilate the magnitude of what we experienced. We will board the boat again, which will sail very close to the southern wall of the glacier, offering us another impressive perspective of this ice giant.
As a finishing touch, you will have the opportunity to contemplate the immensity and majesty of Perito Moreno from its walkways, a perfect place to capture the best photographs and keep an indelible memory.
