- El Calafate - The tour starts early in the morning when we pick you up from your hotel in El Calafate. An hour later, we will enter the Los Glaciares National Park and move to the dock located in the port “Bajo las Sombras” to embark on 20-minute navigation through the Rico arm of the Argentino Lake, enjoying stunning views of the front wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
Arriving at the opposite shore, mountain guides will welcome us and take us to a small refuge where they will give us a talk and crampons.
Once the group is ready, we will start trekking through the Glacier. During the first stretch, we will have an impressive view of the immense ice plateau. Throughout the 4-hour walk, we will receive explanations of the glacier. In the middle of the walk, we will make a stop and have lunch on the ice. After rest, we will start to the second part of the activity admiring blue lagoons and viewpoints of National Park.
Back on land, we will begin our descent towards the port to take the boat. We will have free time to walk on the walkways built in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier and visit the balconies that show incredible views.
In the afternoon, we will take the bus back to the hotels.
