Perito Moreno Glacier Big Ice

On this tour you will enjoy a beautiful hike in the heart of the Perito Moreno Glacier: a spectacular experience!!!

The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the most beautiful and emblematic landscapes of the Argentine Patagonia, take the opportunity to see it in all its most intense forms!!!

This unmissable experience begins at the “Bajo de las sombras” port, where we embark on a navigation of about 15 minutes to cross the Brazo Rico.
We get very close to the Glacier and at that moment we have a fantastic perception of how big it is.
The mountain guides will take you even closer to the glacier to get the crampons and start the approach crossing.
Once on the glacier and with the crampons on, the world takes on a new perspective: blue lagoons, deep crevasses, huge dolines, magical caves and the unique sensation of being in the center of the glacier.

During the hike of about 6 and a half hours, the guides explain the flora and fauna and the general glaciology of the region, explaining the specific phenomenon of ruptures of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
We sit on the glacier to rest and have a snack. A fantastic experience to be there, sitting on the glacier surrounded by mountains – a unique feeling of being in the middle of the glacier!!!
With our energies recovered, we continued walking until we returned to the starting point, where we took off our crampons and walked down the mountain to the port.
We returned to the ship satisfied and with this new adventure to tell.
Then we go through the walkways to observe the Perito Moreno Glacier from the front. We see the beautiful blue tone of this immense glacier and take the opportunity to photograph it from a wider angle, observing how it rises from the lake to the top of the mountains, to return to “civilization”, after having enjoyed one of the most spectacular walks on ice in the world.Remarks
