Our guides Emiliano and Ariel were great. Emiliano kept us entertained the entire time and we had a lot of fun. Wish we had a little bit more time on the walkways to see the glacier.

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. You can also enjoy the view of the Perito Moreno from the catwalks: another way to see and appreciate its immensity.

This one of our best days in Patagonia! It exceeded our expectations. Transporation from El Calafate to Perito Moreno was easy and comfortable. Our glacier guide (Frederico) was very professional and moved our group at a good pace to enjoy the trek. The experience was unique, and we made some great memories!
