Overview

I lived the Blue Safari: a unique experience next to the Perito Moreno Glacier
Designed for those who dream of coming face to face with ice, this tour combines sailing, hiking and an intimate connection with one of the most imposing glaciers in the world.

The adventure begins in El Calafate with the transfer to Los Glaciares National Park. From Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, we cross Lake Rico by boat and, after a 20-minute sailing, disembark in front of the majestic south wall of the glacier.

Along a guided walk of 11⁄2 hours, we skirt the ice enjoying spectacular views and the possibility of witnessing landslides that shake the landscape. As we reach the edge of the glacier, we will have time to take in its intense shades of blue and white, and capture memories with incredible photographs.

A contemplative, exciting and close excursion to the wildest nature of Patagonia.
Booked with Patagonia Dreams and lived the ice like never before.

  • Perito Moreno Glacier
    For the next 30 minutes, we will advance along a nature trail surrounded by forest and sand, always with the imposing south wall of Perito Moreno Glacier in front of our eyes. At every turn, the blue tones of the ice, the whimsical formations and the rumbling of some close detachment will remind us that we are facing one of the most striking natural wonders on the planet.
  • Glaciar Perito Moreno Photos
    The total route of the hike is about 1 1/2 hours, on a mixed terrain of sand, stones and stairs, traveling 1.5 km of coast and native forest. When you reach the point closest to the glacier, you will have time to contemplate its vastness, take pictures and be surprised by its energy.
  • Perito Moreno Glacier
    Then we will embark again to sail very close to the south wall of the glacier. From this privileged perspective, you will be able to observe every crevasse, every block of suspended ice and the majesty of this millennial formation.

    Upon returning to the port, the tour continues with the visit to the famous glacier walkways, where we will have 2 hours to explore them at our own pace and have lunch on the walkway we take from El Calafate, with unforgettable panoramic views.
