• IMPORTANT: Normally this tour has pick up from 7 to 7.30 AM BUT in high season as availability is very low you may have a pick up time at 1.00 PM coming back from the tour at 11 PM

• The tour starts when passengers are picked up in El Calafate. You will board our comfortable buses, where our tour guides will give you information on the place, the glacier and the tour on our way to Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. Once you arrive at “Bajo de las Sombras” port (located on Route 11, 70 Km from El Calafate), you’ll board a ship to cross Lago Rico and descend on the opposite coast, after a 20-minute navigation in front of the stunning south face of Glaciar Perito Moreno.

• When you disembark, you will be welcomed by our expert mountain guides, who will lead you to a cozy shelter with a privileged view of the glacier. Here starts the trekking! We will start by walking along the coast of the lake, keeping our eyes on the glacier so that we do not miss any ice calvings. Then, the guides will give a talk about glaciology.

• The level of difficulty of this walk is intensive. This glacier walk requires approximately 3 hours of trekking between ice and moraine, just like the traditional Minitrekking, but it is much more physically intense due to the pace of walking.

• The duration of this tour is about 10 hours, including the transfer and a one-hour guided visit to the walkways of Glaciar Perito Moreno, 7 km from the port. There, you’ll enjoy the spectacular panoramic view of the glacier and walk along some of the self-guided paths. If you don’t use our transfer and go by your own means, the Minitrekking takes about four hours and a half, leaving from the port and returning to the same point.

• If you choose the without transfer option, please note that this alternative does not include transportation to and from the walkways, and therefore, the total duration of the tour is reduced to approximately 5 hours.

• Passengers who choose the without transfer option: The meeting point will be at Puerto Bajo Las Sombras, Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, Z9405, El Calafate. We will inform you of the meeting time when your booking is confirmed and will send it to you along with the itinerary once the reservation is finalized.
