Once at the port area, you will board your boat and sail for about 20 minutes to access the southern wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier. On the opposite shore, you will be split into small groups, and guides will provide the equipment needed and give some basic instructions on how to walk on ice. Then, the adventure begins! For about 1 hour, you will walk on the glacier to appreciate the variety of ice formations as well as its cracks, turquoise lagoons, seracs, glacier mills and small ponds. After taking in the light-blueness of this incredible icy landscape from up-close, you will walk through the periglacial area and the lateral moraine from where you will have a panoramic view of the glacier, the mountains and the lake. Following up, you will cross the lush Andean Patagonian forest and then recover with a hot drink before sailing back to the pier. You will return to your hotel in the late afternoon. You will have about an hour to stop for lunch (box lunch included).

Once ashore, you will take a hike to Big Glacier. On that walk, you will access a glacier valley with exposed glacier evidence and later on the Amphitheater of the Glaciers. There, you will be able to enjoy lunch with a view of Grande, Dickson and Cubo Glaciers. After lunch at this wonderful place, you will make your way back through the same hiking trails and boats that were previously used. You will get back to your hotel in the evening. The hike includes nearly 6 hours of walking.

Enjoy your last few hours in El Calafate! You may go to the downtown area for some souvenirs before departing to your next destination. At the appropriate time, you’ll have a shared transfer to El Calafate airport. NOTES: PLEASE, KINDLY READ OUR RESTRICTIONS BEFORE BOOKING THIS TOUR. You can read them in the Additional info tab.
