Big Ice — Trekking on the Perito Moreno Glacier

El Calafate
Excursion

Shared full-day service from El Calafate to the Perito Moreno Glacier, in Los Glaciares National Park, with guide included, featuring an extended trek on the ice of around 3 hours and 30 minutes. The transfer covers around 80 km along Provincial Route 11 to Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, where the cruise reaches the glacier's edge. After an approach walk along the moraine, guides hand out crampons and lead the group into the glacier interior, with sections of crevasses and ice caves depending on terrain conditions. The activity is limited to passengers aged 18 to 50 and requires good fitness. National Park admission is not included and is paid at the entrance. Hotel pick-up is arranged at the start of the day.
