Full description

Departing from the city of El Calafate, the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park, you can choose the service with transfer to enjoy a comfortable trip through the Patagonian steppe to Puerto Bajo las Sombras, just 7 km from the iconic glacier walkways. From the port, you will board a boat that crosses the Brazo Rico of Lake Argentino in a 20-minute trip, surrounded by spectacular scenery.

Glacier Hike: After disembarking on the opposite shore, you will begin a 1 hour and 30 minute hike along nature trails, bordering the lake and passing through a lush Patagonian forest. The views towards the south wall of the glacier are impressive, with shades of blue and white, and the occasional ice slides add to the excitement of the hike.

The highlight is standing in front of the glacier, a magical moment to admire its whimsical shapes and colors up close. Expert tour guides will share fascinating facts about this ice giant, its formation and constant movement.

Navigation and View from the Water: After the hike, you will return to the ship for a final navigation that offers a different perspective: the south face of the glacier from the water. A few meters from the icy wall, you will be able to observe its unique textures and details, an experience that will take your breath away.

Explore the Glacier Walkways: If you hired the service with transfer, you will be taken to the famous glacier walkways, where you will have 2 hours to explore. These walkways offer unparalleled panoramic views from different angles and heights. If you choose to go on your own, you can decide how long to spend here before returning to El Calafate.

Important details:
- Duration of tour: Full day (approx. 8 hours).
- Age allowed: From 6 to 70 years old.
- Not included: Entrance fee to Los Glaciares National Park and food/drinks.

Recommendations: Wear comfortable clothes, waterproof, trekking shoes and accessories such as gloves and sunscreen.
