We will arrive at the imposing Perito Moreno Glacier, where we will have three hours of free time to explore the walkways. The distance from El Calafate to the glacier is 80 km, covered almost entirely by a paved road that crosses both the steppe and the mountainous region. From the beginning of the trip, we are surprised by beautiful landscapes. Leaving the city, we will see Lake Argentino and its Redonda Bay to the right, a refuge for a great diversity of birds, such as black-necked swans, flamingos, steamer ducks, gulls, and cauquéns. The landscape is dominated by the vibrant yellow of the grasslands known as coirón, especially the white coirón and the petiso. For the first 40 km, we will cross the Patagonian steppe until we reach the entrance to the National Park, where the vegetation changes to tree species of the Nothofagus family, such as ñires, guindos, and lengas. We will also find canelos and flowers of various colors, with the notro standing out for its intense red hue, typical of the Andean Patagonian Forest. Upon arriving at the Perito Moreno Glacier, we will be awestruck by its majesty. We will walk along the walkways, which offer different perspectives of the immense ice wall. It is essential to follow the signs to always remain within the walkways, respecting the park&#39;s guidelines. The park rangers play a fundamental role in preserving the natural beauty and are available to provide useful information about the site. * All glaciers with transfers

Moreno Spirit (Optional tour of Perito Moreno Glacier National Park) El Calafate

Our &quot;Minitrekking&quot; tour on the Perito Moreno Glacier, an ancient glacier, will be complemented by a one-hour walk along the walkways. The excursion begins with pick-up from hotels in El Calafate on a regular bus, which will take us to the Bajo de las Sombras port, located about 6 km before the main viewpoint of the glacier. From there, we will embark on an approximately 20-minute boat trip across Lake Rico to the southwest coast, opposite the southern wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier. After disembarking, we will proceed to a refuge where the guides will organize the groups, composed of up to 20 people. The trek begins with a walk of about 20 minutes along the lake shore until we reach the edge of the ice. At this point, the guides will help us put on our crampons and teach us how to move safely on the ice. The walk on the glacier lasts about 2 hours and allows us to explore various ice formations, such as fissures, seracs, sinkholes, and small lagoons. Although the surface is uneven, it is firm and safe, making the hike moderate and accessible. During the trek, guides will provide detailed explanations about the local flora, fauna, and glaciology, as well as the unique phenomenon that occurs in the glacier and can lead to its famous rupture. At the end of the trek, we will return to the refuge via a trail that crosses the lush Magellanic Forest. Afterwards, we will visit the walkways for 45 minutes to appreciate the magnificent frontal view of the Perito Moreno Glacier. - Starting at 7:00 AM (to be confirmed at the destination). - Transfer valid for hotels located in the city center.

Minitrekking Sando de El Calafate

The tour begins with a walk through a unique area where it&#39;s possible to observe fossils and petrified tree trunks, making it ideal for those who enjoy outdoor activities and have an adventurous spirit. A moderate level of physical fitness is required, as the route includes approximately 3 hours of walking intermittently on uneven terrain. We left El Calafate via Provincial Route No. 5, traveling 33 km eastward. Then, we headed north on National Route No. 40, covering another 67 km. Along the way, we could admire Lake Argentino, the Santa Cruz River, the La Leona River and its beautiful valley, as well as panoramic views of the Andes Mountains, including the imposing Mount Fitz Roy. We make a brief 15-minute stop at the historic Hotel La Leona before continuing west, skirting Lake Viedma for another 10 km. We then arrive at the foot of Cerro Los Hornos, at Estancia Santa Teresita, around 11:30 am. From this point, we have our first view of the impressive depression in the terrain where the petrified tree trunks are located. We begin our exploratory walk, during which we observe a large number of petrified tree trunks scattered across the surface, some with diameters of up to 1.20 meters. These trunks are evidence of a period when the climate was different and allowed for the development of abundant flora. Midway through the hike, we take a break for lunch. During the walk, it&#39;s also possible to occasionally find fossil remains of different types of dinosaurs. The area is protected from the wind by the natural depression in the terrain and by Cerro Los Hornos, offering a dry and generally pleasant climate, characteristic of the steppe zone.

Petrified Forest La Leona, near El Calafate

The tour begins with a boat trip along the northern arm of Lake Argentino to the mouth of the Upsala Channel, where we can appreciate the grandeur of the Upsala Glacier, one of the most important in Los Glaciares National Park. Located on the northwest shore of the lake, at the end of the Cristina arm, Estancia Cristina offers a unique setting. Founded in 1914 by Joseph P. Masters and his wife, the Estancia still preserves the essence of the history of this pioneering family, who transformed an inhospitable place into a true paradise. A visit to Estancia Cristina combines nature, adventure, history, and pleasure. After sailing, we begin an ascent in 4x4 vehicles to the Continental Ice Refuge, traveling 9.5 km along a mountain road that crosses a landscape of great geological interest, once covered by glaciers. During the ascent, we reach an elevation of 550 meters. Upon arriving at the refuge, we take a 20-minute walk through glacial erosion terrain, which leads us to the Upsala Glacier viewpoint. From this point, it is possible to contemplate a privileged view of the glacier front, Lake Guillermo, the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, and the Andes Mountains. Afterwards, we return to the Estancia in 4x4 vehicles. At the Estancia, we visited the Costumbrista Museum, housed in an old sheep-shearing shed, where the history of the property is told. Afterwards, we took a guided walk to the Caterina River and visited the chapel and the historic center of the Estancia. Among the activities, there is free time for lunch, which can be booked in advance or brought by the participants themselves.
