If you've ever dreamed of getting up close to the majestic glacial ice and feeling its immensity firsthand, this is the adventure you've been waiting for. The Blue Safari is designed for those who, in addition to sailing past the Perito Moreno Glacier, dream of getting up close to the glacial ice!

We'll walk for 30 minutes, keeping an eye on the glacier's south face in case we're surprised by a thunderous calving event. Once beside the ice, it will be time for an unforgettable experience… We'll be able to fully appreciate its intense and varied colors, and its whimsical shapes.

We'll have plenty of time to take photos, and then we'll return to the boarding point, always accompanied by an experienced guide. The total hike is approximately an hour and a half over natural terrain of sand and stones, with some slopes and stairs.

Finally, we'll board the boat to appreciate the entire southern face of the glacier from the water, allowing us to see every detail of the marbled ice wall
