Description

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind adventure through Patagonia’s breathtaking Los Glaciares National Park, centered around the legendary Perito Moreno Glacier. This guided trekking experience blends nature, excitement, and unforgettable scenery — perfect for travelers looking to dive deep into the heart of Argentina’s wild south. Your day starts in El Calafate, heading toward Puerto Bajo Las Sombras, located just 7 km from the iconic glacier walkways. There, you’ll board a boat for a short but stunning 20-minute cruise across Lago Rico, offering your first close-up views of the massive glacier’s towering face. Upon landing on the opposite shore, your trekking journey begins with a 30-minute hike along a beautiful natural path that winds through sandy stretches, forested trails, and rocky terrain. With the southern wall of Perito Moreno always in sight, the landscape feels like something out of a dream — full of raw beauty and untouched wilderness. Once you arrive at the edge of the glacier, take a moment to touch the ancient ice and admire its deep blues, bright whites, and intricate textures. You’ll have time to snap incredible photos and soak in the immensity of the glacier before heading back to the boat. After returning to port, the experience continues with a bus ride to the famous Perito Moreno walkways, where you’ll have 2 full hours to explore at your own pace, enjoy your packed lunch, and marvel at panoramic views from different angles. On the return to El Calafate, watch as the wild beauty of the Patagonian Steppe unfolds outside your window — a perfect ending to an epic day.
