The bus departs really early in the morning,with a bilingual guide (english/spanish) that will provide information about the surroundings and will accompany the group on their way to National Park Los Glaciares and during 1 hour in the runway visit. There you’ll have one of the best panoramic views of the glacier

Then back on the bus you’ll travel to “Bajo las sombras” port and will embark to sail 20 minutes by the “Rico” arm of the Argentinean lake. Arriving on the other side of the lake, the front of Perito Moreno’s southern wall awaits us.

As we arrive at the shelter the group will be greeted by the expert mountain guides, who will divide us into subgroups and join us in the hike assisting wherever is necessary and helping us to interpret the landscape. At the beginning,we’ll hike for 2 hours by the glacier’s moraine from where we observe different panoramic views of the glacier and the woods. Before our trekking on the glacier, the group shall stop to enjoy a picnic in the middle of nature. In this activity you won't find places to buy some food or beverage so you must bring it all the way from El Calafate.It is indispensable to the passengers to bring their food in the backpack.

Once lunch is over and the ice access point is reached, guides will provide assistance with the helmet, harness and crampons to get started with our 3 hour long trekking. THE BIG ICE IS HIGHLY PERSONALIZED. The groups on the ice will be up to 10 people, accompanied by two mountain guides. During the tour on the glacier you will see cracks, lagoons, streams, seracs and, occasionally, ice caves.

At the end of the ice trek the return will be undertaken by the same path that was taken previously until reaching the refuge, where you’ll have some minutes to admire the glacier one last time and take the boat trip back to the port.
