This adventure starts at Bahía Bajo de las Sombras port, around 6 km from the Lookout point of Moreno Glacier in the National Park.

There we will board a vessel to cross the Rico arm of the Argentino Lake. The milky green of the water and the shining white and blue of the ice surprises the visitor´s eye.

After sailing for 20 minutes –enjoying the south wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier and the Tempanos Channel- the boat will leave us in the southwestern shore where the guides will be waiting for us in a shelter nearby.

Trekking on the ice will take place very shortly.

All together we will walk for about 20 minutes in order to reach the ice boundary. We wil have an impressive view of how the ice mounts on the earth, marking the edge of the Glacier.

We will be instructed on how to use and walk with crampons on the ice surface to avoid skidding.

The ice trek itself is around 2 hours long.

During the trek we will discover different formations in the ice such as cracks, small lagoons, sumps and many others. The guides will explain the breathtaking Perito Moreno rupture phenomenon that takes place from time to time.

An experience we will never regret nor forget.

Once we finish this stunning experience we will return to the shelter along a green, enchanting trail, enjoying the Magellanic forest in its colorful splendor.

After boarding the boat for the return trip we will sail back the Témpanos channel, this time getting near the amazing walls of the Perito Moreno Glacier to take wonderful pictures.

Once at the port there will be a Bus to take us back to El Calafate.

After the activity, before returning to El Calafate, participants will be taken to the Glaciar Lookout point and its trails. This visit lasts approximately one hour.
