Full description

Discover Patagonia on this trek in Los Glaciares National Park. Explore the park on foot, and trek on glaciers with crampons. Learn about the flora and fauna from your guide along the way, and sail in front of a glacier on Argentino Lake. This unmissable experience begins at the “Bajo de las Sombras” Port, within Los Glaciares National Park. Take a boat to cross the Brazo Rico, to the west coast. After crossing, take a rest stop and meet your guides who will brief you on the activity. Strap on your crampons and trek along the glacier, following along with your licensed guides. See unique ice formations and learn about glacier ruptures and the natural life of the region. Return to the refuge through the Magellan forest where you can enjoy your lunch (not included) with a view of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Return through the Brazo Rico of the Argentino Lake, sailing in front of the glacier.

This is one of the experiences you should do once in a life. The BEST was the mini trekking through the glacier, everybody was kind and happy to help. You must visit the walkways to get one of the best views of the glacier too.

The glaciers were incredible and we had an amazing time on the trek, even with the rain! Nicolas was such a fantastic guide. So enthusiastic and informative, he really made the experience! We loved the final part with the walk to see the other side of the glacier too. The bus was nice and comfortable too and guide was lovely. Thank you!

Had a great time! A definite must when visiting El Calafate. The tour guides were kind, helpful and patient. They gave everyone time to get that perfect photo and were very helpful and patient with anyone going slow or needing a hand. The views of the glacier are indescribable. Simply amazing! We finished the hike with a shot of whiskey on glacier ice. Loved every moment of this experience.
