Minitrekking on the Perito Moreno Glacier – Adventure on the ice
I lived the unique experience of walking on one of the few advancing glaciers in the world. For an hour, explore its cracks, caves and formations with specialized guides. The excursion includes sailing along the South Arm of Lake Argentina, providing breathtaking views of the glacier from the water.
At the end, enjoy a toast with views and walk the walkways of Los Glaciares National Park.
A complete and unforgettable adventure in the heart of Patagonia.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
The pick-up time of the activity will be between 7:00 am and 15 pm. This schedule will be confirmed the day before the activity is carried out via email. That is why we suggest not to hire this activity on the same day as El Calafate. The transfer is available only for accommodation with reception: If you are staying in a temporary rental or a non-reception establishment, we will indicate a nearby meeting point for departure.
What to expect
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.
