Overview
This one-day tour is one of the most incredible experiences that can enjoy in the Perito Moreno Glacier. In Howlanders we are travelers too, so let us explain to you why this must be your next adventure. During the Big Ice tour, you will step on the Perito Moreno Glacier ice for 3,5 hours, using crampons and all the equipment. Incredible blue lagoons, impressive caves, and its awe-inspiring ice is waiting for you. It’s an extremely unique sensation that we would love to share with you.

If you select the "tour with pick up" option, you will be picked up from your hotel or a nearby meeting point at 6:45 am. You will head to Los Glaciares National Park. During the trip, the guide will talk about flora, fauna, the history of the park, glacier phenomena... a master class! You will arrive at the glacier walkways, the different itineraries will be explained to you and you will have one hour to walk them at your own pace. You will join the group again to head to Puerto Bajo las Sombras.
-
Once at the port, we will meet you with the rest of the group. If you book the option "tour without pick up" your tour will start at this point. You will embark and for 20 minutes you will navigate the Rico Lake until you reach the opposite shore, always with the Perito Moreno Glacier wall in the background. When you disembark, the team of mountain guides will be waiting for you. You will receive a safety briefing and an explanation of the experience you are about to live and let's get started!
-
Perito Moreno GlacierThe trekking will start with a 2-hour walk along the glacier moraine. At this point, you will be equipped with via ferrata equipment to ensure your safety, although you will always walk on a wide and well-prepared trail. Along the route, the glacier will always be on your right-hand side, and little by little you will enter the valley and the forest. At one point, the trail descends to the glacier and you will finally touch the ice, and this is where the ice trekking begins!
-
Perito Moreno GlacierThe guides will help you put on your crampons. You will practice a little and when the group is ready you will start to go into the ice of the glacier. During the following 3 hours, the guides will explain the different formations that you will find on the glacier. There is no set route on the ice, the glacier is alive and constantly changing, so each day the guide customizes the route to see all possible formations and enjoy the experience to the fullest. - You will stop for half an hour in a cozy place and have lunch with the rest of the group.
-
You will start your way back over the ice to the place where we put on your crampons, take them off, and finally get out of the glacier ice. You will return the same way, return the material and have some free time in the cafeteria before boarding again. Hot coffee in a cozy place with privileged views, what more could you ask for after the effort? You will board again and while enjoying the views of the south face of the Perito Moreno Glacier the crew will offer you a whiskey on ice from the glacier itself. Cheers!
