Los Glaciares National Park
In the morning, the transfer service will pick up each passenger from their respective hotels. Once aboard, we head to Los Glaciares National Park.
Upon entering the Park, we head to the "Bajo de las Sombras" port, approximately 6 km before the Glacier viewpoint, where we embark to cross Lake Rico. After about 20 minutes of sailing in front of the southern wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier, we arrive on the southwest coast.
Once at the base of the Glacier, the guides assign each passenger to a group. Here begins a talk about Glaciology, accompanied by a description of the trek and the precautions to be taken when walking on the glacier. Once the crampons are put on, the trekking on the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier begins.
After completing the Minitrekking, we return to the port where the vehicle awaits us along with a National Park guide to start the tour that will take us to the walkways in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier. After entering the Patagonian Andean Forest area, we stop at the "Curve of Sighs".
We continue to the walkways that run along the entire front of the glacier, where we will have free time to walk and enjoy the impressive views and breaks of the glacier amidst the ancient and lush Patagonian Andean Forest.
