Useful Information
Hiking Inside El Perito Moreno Glacier
Departing from your El Calafate hotel, you'll head to the Bajo de las Sombras (Under the Shadows) port and cross the Rico Arm of Lake Argentino. After a quick 15-minute sail, you'll reach the opposite shore and the base of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Here, the guides will help you pick out a crampon, special metal spikes worn on your boots for traction. Then, your adventure begins as you hike along the southern moraine until you reach a special vantage point -- an entrance gate to heaven.
With your crampons fastened and your harness in place, you'll begin to explore the glacier from a different perspective. Here, you'll discover blue lagoons, deep and alarming cracks, huge drains and impressive caves. Dimensions become almost unreal as you travel deeper inside the Perito Moreno, one of the most fascinating glaciers in the world.
With your expert guides who will explain the characteristics of the ice and its surroundings, you will tour the inside of the glacier for more than four hours. You’ll have a picnic lunch (you bring your own) on the ice, where you can sit down and recover your energy. After this experience, you'll never look at ice the same way again!
