Description

Embark on an unforgettable adventure in Los Glaciares National Park that combines trekking, glacier exploration, and breathtaking views of Patagonia’s wild beauty. Your journey begins at the Bajo de las Sombras Port, where you’ll board a boat to cross the shimmering Brazo Rico arm of Argentino Lake. As you sail, enjoy a first glimpse of the legendary Perito Moreno Glacier. Upon reaching the western shore, you’ll meet your expert mountain guides who will equip you with crampons and safety gear, and explain everything you need to know for walking on ice. Then the real adventure begins: a guided trek across the glacier, where you’ll step onto a frozen world of deep crevasses, icy peaks, and startling blue formations. As you walk, your guide will share insights about glacier dynamics, regional geology, and the surrounding flora and fauna. After the ice trek, return to the refuge by hiking through the Magellanic forest, where you’ll find the perfect spot to relax and enjoy lunch (not included) with panoramic views of the glacier. The journey continues with a sailing along the glacier’s towering north wall, giving you another perspective on its impressive size and constantly changing face. To complete the experience, you’ll walk along the network of catwalks and viewpoints facing the Perito Moreno. Here, you can take in the full grandeur of the glacier, possibly catching the thunderous crack of ice breaking off into the lake—a natural spectacle that will stay with you forever. This is not just a tour; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with one of Earth’s last wild frontiers.
