Description

Your Patagonian adventure begins with a scenic pickup from El Calafate, followed by a 90-minute journey to the picturesque Puerto Bajo de las Sombras. From there, board a boat and sail across the shimmering Rico Arm of Lake Argentino, with breathtaking views of icebergs and the majestic face of the Perito Moreno Glacier welcoming you from afar. Once on the southwestern coast, you’ll embark on a guided hike along a forested path beside the glacier. After about an hour and a half of walking through pristine Patagonian wilderness, you’ll reach a spectacular panoramic viewpoint—an ideal spot to take in the scale and beauty of this massive river of ice. Here, your guides will help you gear up with crampons before stepping directly onto the glacier for an unforgettable 3-hour ice trek. As you explore deep blue crevasses, towering ice pinnacles, and surreal formations sculpted by centuries of wind and time, your expert guides will share insights into the glacier’s unique ecosystem, its dramatic rupture events, and the science behind its constant movement. After the trek, return by boat to the starting point and enjoy the final highlight: a self-guided visit to the extensive network of balconies and walkways facing the glacier’s front wall. Here, you can admire its thunderous calving events and capture awe-inspiring photos before heading back to El Calafate. A day packed with natural wonder, physical adventure, and unforgettable memories.
