Itinerary
1
Tangol El Calafate
The tour starts with the pick up from your centrally located El Calafate Hotel (if option selected). Exact pick up time will be reconfirmed the day before the tour.
2
Perito Moreno Glacier
After passing by the hotels, we will take the Provincial Route N°11 to enter Los Glaciares National Park.
This unique natural wonder has been declared a "World Heritage Site of Humanity" by UNESCO in 1981. The National Park includes a scenario of mountains, lakes and forests, a large portion of the Andes Mountains covered with ice and snow to the west and the arid Patagonian steppe to the east.
2 hours
3
Lago Argentino
Once in the “Bajo las Sombras” port, you will board a ship to cross the Lago Rico to arrive at the opposite shore after a 20-minute trip approximately in front of the southern wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
For those who have chosen the option without transfers, this is where you will meet your guide who will give you all the necessary instructions.
20 minutes
4
Perito Moreno Glacier
Once on the ground, a short 20-minute walk begins with a talk about glaciology along the shore of the lake towards the glacier.
Once on the ice, the guides put on each participant a pair of crampons and give them instructions on how they should walk on the ice. In the about 1:30 hour walk on the glacier, you will be able to appreciate a wide variety of ice formations as well as cracks, glacier mills and small ponds.
The trekking difficulty is moderate. The ice surface over which you walk is irregular, but firm and safe. You will get information about flora and fauna and about the particular phenomenon that only takes place in the Perito Moreno Glacier and that eventually produces its rupture.
2 hours
