Additional Information

This journey is conceived for those who not only yearn to sail past the Perito Moreno Glacier but also crave a closer experience with its icy walls.

The tour commences in El Calafate, where a bus departs for Los Glaciares National Park. Upon reaching Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, we board a boat to traverse Lake Rico. After a 20-minute sail, we disembark on the far shore.

Our 30 minutes walk will always be against the backdrop of the Glacier’s southern wall, offering the chance to witness spontaneous, thunderous landslides. This grants us the opportunity to bask in its vibrant blues and pearly whites.

The entirety of the trek lasts 1.30 hours over natural sandy and rocky terrain, interjected by a few slopes and steps. Our 1.5-kilometer path will be along the lake’s shoreline and through a verdant forest, offering views of the Glacier.

Taking the boat, we get to admire the glacier’s southern face before boarding the bus that will take us to the viewing platforms. Here, we will have 2 hours to revel in the spectacular panoramic vista.

Great day trip on large group tour - This tour was the next best option to hiking on the glacier! We got up close and personal with the glacier on a boat ride and short hike. The hike is over hills and soft gravel, but they offered hiking sticks to borrow for free. The logistics for the pick up for the tour was perfect. Our only complaint is that this was a large bus tour, so there was some waiting as other passengers had to use the restroom and get tickets at the front gate for the park. In comparison to a private or smaller tour, maybe we would have more time in the park. Otherwise, this is a great tour for an introduction to Perito Moreno glacier!
