Minitrekking<\/span>
\nWalk on the Perito Moreno Glacier<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Description<\/h3>\n

The excursion begins with the pick-up of passengers in El Calafate<\/span>(1). On the way to Los Glaciares National Park, the tour guides will provide you with information about the place, the glacier and the excursion -optional-.<\/p>\n

Once in the port \u201cBajo de las Sombras\u201d (Route 11, 70 km from El Calafate) you will embark to cross Rico Lake, arriving at the opposite coast after approximately 20 minutes of navigation in front of the imposing south face of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
\nUpon disembarking you will be greeted by expert mountain guides, who will take you to a cozy shelter with a privileged view of the glacier. From here, the trekking begins. The tour begins with a walk along the coast of the lake and with our eyes focused on the glacier so as not to miss the opportunity to see landslides. Then, the guides will give a talk about glaciology.<\/p>\n

Upon reaching the edge of the glacier, with the\u00a0striking blue hues of the ice framing the landscape, subgroups of a maximum of 20 people each will be organized and they will be fitted with the crampons and helmets provided by the company. This excursion is highly personalized (one guide for every 10 passengers maximum). Once on the glacier, you will receive a safety briefing and walk to enjoy this frozen paradise declared a World Heritage Site (1981).<\/p>\n

The circuit on the glacier is of medium difficulty, the ice surface is irregular but firm and safe. During the walk you will be able to see a variety of typical glacier formations such as deep crevasses, blue sinkholes, huge seracs and turquoise lagoons.<\/p>\n

At the end of the ice walk, you will visit the periglacial zone and the lateral moraine from where you will get a panoramic view of the Perito Moreno Glacier, the mountains and the lake.
\nToast over the ice.
\nThen, we will return along a path that crosses the lush Patagonian Andean forest, thus completing the three-hour walk along the lake coast, moraine, ice and forest (of which approximately one hour is on the glacial ice).<\/p>\n

Upon arrival at the shelter you are invited with a hot drink and a souvenir is given to you.
\nThe time you have to eat the food you must bring, will depend on the schedule of the activity.<\/p>\n

Then you embark to return to Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, but first you will contemplate the enormous walls of the glacier from the boat.<\/p>\n

For those who take the transfer service, the activity continues with a visit to the walkways in front of the Perito Moreno glacier, where you will stay for an hour, and then return to the hotels.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1724683456044{padding-top: 20px !important;}” el_id=”itinerario”]<\/p>\n
