    The Nautical Safari is an unforgettable experience in front of the stunning Perito Moreno Glacier. For one hour, the boat sails from Brazo Rico to the southern end of the Icebergs Channel, offering a unique and unmatched perspective of the glacier. Its towering 60-meter walls are as impressive as the glacier’s distinctive blue hue, the result of a rare optical effect. The thunderous sound of ice breaking is a natural concert that stirs the soul. The captain pauses for photos—but also for silence, inviting you to disconnect and feel the overwhelming power of nature. Icebergs floating on Lake Argentino complete this breathtaking scene.
