Highlights
I lived the unique experience of walking on one of the few advancing glaciers in the world. For about an hour, you will explore its crevasses, caves and formations accompanied by specialized guides. The excursion includes a sailing through the South Arm of Lake Argentina, which offers breathtaking views of the glacier from the water. At the end, you will enjoy a toast with views and walk the walkways of Los Glaciares National Park. Depending on the contracted option, the experience may include transfer to and from your hotel, or take place without transfers. A complete and unforgettable adventure in the heart of Patagonia.

Itinerary
We start the activity with the transfer from your accommodation in El Calafate (in case you hire option with transfer)
Once we are in the National Park, we will board the port and after a 20 minute sailing we will be ready to start a trek along the coast to where we will begin the trekking.
The guides will place the crampons and we will start the walk on the Perito Moreno Glacier. Along the way, you will discover unique formations such as deep crevasses, melting pits, blue lagoons and spectacular ice ridges.
After the glacier hike, we return to the port where after a 20 minute sailing in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier, we will continue to the walkways of the National Park. In this way, we will have enjoyed the glacier from different perspectives.
After walking the walkways of the Park, we return to the accommodation in El Calafate.

About El Calafate
El Calafate is a small Patagonian town on the shore of Lago Argentino, the base for the Perito Moreno Glacier and Los Glaciares National Park.
El Calafate lies on the south shore of Lago Argentino, a milky turquoise lake fed by glacial meltwater, with the Andes on the western horizon. The town is named after the calafate, a thorny shrub with dark berries, and a local saying promises that anyone who eats them will return to Patagonia. It was founded in the 1920s to serve the surrounding sheep estancias and now exists chiefly as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park.
