About This Tour in El Calafate

Live this unique experience in life! Walk for 3 hours and a half on the Perito Moreno Glacier. Discover sinkholes and internal lagoons of the glacier, walk through the Patagonian forest and let yourself be amazed by this incredible landscape. This unmissable experience begins in the “Bajo de las sombras” port, within the Los Glaciares National Park. There you will take a boat to cross the Brazo Rico, to the west coast. You will start the trail through the Patagonian-Magellanic Andean forest. After two hours of walking, you will arrive at the southern moraine of the Perito Moreno glacier, where you will access the ice. During the 3 and a half hours (approximately) of the tour, the guides will help you to better understand the ice and its environment: the origin of the glaciers and the characteristics of the area.
