Exploradores Glacier Ice Trek: Full Day from Puerto Tranquilo
Puerto Rio Tranquilo
À propos
This adventure takes you deep into the heart of untouched Patagonia, where nature has remained pure and powerful for thousands of years.
The Exploradores Glacier is the main gateway to the Northern Patagonian Ice Field, one of the largest ice masses on Earth. Walking on its bright blue surface, surrounded by mountains and silence, is a truly humbling experience — a reminder of how small we are next to nature’s grandeur.
Every step across the living ice connects you with a landscape few people ever get to see up close. You’ll witness crevasses, crystal formations, and frozen caves that change with every season, making each visit completely unique.

This adventure takes you deep into the heart of untouched Patagonia, where nature has remained pure and powerful for thousands of years.
The Exploradores Glacier is the main gateway to the Northern Patagonian Ice Field, one of the largest ice masses on Earth. Walking on its bright blue surface, surrounded by mountains and silence, is a truly humbling experience — a reminder of how small we are next to nature’s grandeur.
Every step across the living ice connects you with a landscape few people ever get to see up close. You’ll witness crevasses, crystal formations, and frozen caves that change with every season, making each visit completely unique.
The adventure begins in Puerto Río Tranquilo, one of the most scenic towns along Chile’s legendary Carretera Austral. From here, we’ll travel for about 1.5 hours through the stunning Exploradores Valley, surrounded by rivers, waterfalls, and mountain views.
This route leads us to the gateway of the Northern Patagonian Ice Field and the impressive Exploradores Glacier, which descends from Mount San Valentín, the highest peak in Patagonia at 3,910 meters above sea level.

Glaciar Exploradores
After arriving at the CONAF Visitor Center, our specialized mountain guides will provide a complete safety briefing and distribute technical gear for the hike.
We’ll begin our 7-hour trek toward the glacier, crossing lush temperate forests and rocky moraines before reaching the dazzling white and blue ice. Once on the glacier, you’ll gear up with crampons and explore an extraordinary frozen landscape — crevasses, ice caves, and sculpted formations that change constantly with light and temperature.
Here, you’ll feel, hear, and touch the living ice — a rare and powerful experience in the heart of Patagonia’s wilderness. After time to explore and enjoy a light snack, we’ll begin our return trek back to the base.
