Itinerary
1
El Calafate
The adventure begins in El Calafate, from where we set off by bus to Los Glaciares National Park. Upon arriving at Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, just 7 km from the walkways, we embark to cross Lake Rico. After a 20-minute sailing between floes and crystal clear waters, we disembark on the opposite shore of the lake, ready to begin an unforgettable hike.
2
Perito Moreno Glacier
For the next 30 minutes, we will advance along a nature trail surrounded by forest and sand, always with the imposing south wall of Perito Moreno Glacier in front of our eyes. At every turn, the blue tones of the ice, the whimsical formations and the rumbling of some close detachment will remind us that we are facing one of the most striking natural wonders on the planet.

Glaciar Perito Moreno Photos
The total route of the hike is about 1 1/2 hours, on a mixed terrain of sand, stones and stairs, traveling 1.5 km of coast and native forest. When you reach the point closest to the glacier, you will have time to contemplate its vastness, take pictures and be surprised by its energy.
