Minitrekking Experience - without Transfer
This unmissable experience begins at the "Bajo de las Sombras" port, within Los Glaciares National Park. From there, you'll board a boat that will cross Brazo Rico toward the west coast.
After the crossing, the guides welcome visitors and provide detailed information about the activity.
At the shelter located at this point, you can leave your personal belongings and use the restrooms.
Groups of up to 20 people begin a 20-minute hike to the glacier. With crampons already on, the hike begins by crossing the ice.
The glacier tour lasts approximately 2 hours, during which you can observe ice formations, learn about the flora, fauna and glaciology of the region and better understand the famous Perito Moreno Glacier calving phenomenon.
Then, you'll return to the refuge through the Magellanic Forest. There, you'll enjoy lunch (not included—you must bring your own food and drink) with a privileged view of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
Next, the return crossing of Brazo Rico of Lake Argentino is completed, sailing in front of the glacier. It's also possible to enjoy the view of the glacier from the walkways—a unique way to appreciate its grandeur.
The tour is only suitable for people between 8 and 65 years old.
