Pro Minitrekking at Perito Moreno Glacier – Santa Cruz, Argentina

EXPERIENCE

Between 7:15 am and 8:45 am, we will pick you up directly from your hotel in El Calafate to head to Los Glaciares National Park, located 80 km away.

After an hour-long journey, we will reach the “Bajo de las Sombras” port to embark on a 20-minute cruise along the Rico Arm, offering stunning views of the Perito Moreno Glacier.

Upon reaching the opposite shore, we will disembark in an exclusive area for tour participants. Our bilingual guides will welcome you and lead you to the shelter, where details will be fine-tuned. We will start the journey with the guides along the lake’s shore towards the edge of the Perito Moreno Glacier.

Once on the ice, each participant will be provided with crampons along with detailed instructions for a safe walk on the glacier. The hiking circuit extends for about 3 hours and requires a moderate level of physical level. During this time, you will have the opportunity to explore streams, lagoons, ravines, crevices, and impressive blue-toned ice formations.

Despite the uneven surface, our experienced guides will mark the route and assist when necessary. The activity is open to individuals aged 18 to 55 with good mobility and physical fitness.

We will make strategic stops for photographs and visit a waterfall near the glacier. To conclude, we will enjoy a glass of whisky with glacier ice. Afterward, we will return to the shelter and embark on a 20-minute cruise back to the “Bajo de las Sombras” port.

In the area, you will have free time to have lunch at an available restaurant (optional) and explore the walkways and balconies of the Perito Moreno Glacier, built on different levels to offer unique views.

Upon concluding this experience, we will return to the hotels in the center of El Calafate in our transfer, thus completing a day filled with exciting explorations and spectacular views.
