About Activity
You’ll cruise the imposing Argentinian Lake, surrounded by majestic landscapes and unique views that anticipate an unforgettable experience. More intense and challenging than the traditional Minitrekking, the glacier hike will allow you to explore deep crevasses, crystal clear lagoons and amazing ice formations such as seracs. With crampons on your feet, you’ll walk through the heart of the glacier, visit a waterfall and close the adventure with a toast on board during the boat return.
This experience is designed for those who seek closer contact with nature and want to live a demanding and off-the-beaten-beaten-path.
Whether you’ve already explored the glacier in a traditional way or just want to take your adventurous spirit one step further, this challenge will allow you to push your boundaries and enjoy one of the most striking landscapes in Patagonia.

Once on the ice, we will place crampons to ensure a comfortable and safe walk. The crossing lasts approximately three hours, traveling moraine and ice in a more demanding circuit than traditional Minitrekking, with longer distance and slopes. During the tour we will discover streams, lagoons, cracks and spectacular ice formations of a deep blue.
We will also visit a waterfall near the glacier and close with a toast on board, with whiskey served on ice extracted from Perito Moreno. Finally, we will return by boat to the port Bajo de las Sombras.

Reviews
Definitely going to Perito Moreno Glaciers was one of my breathtaking travel. Nature is around terrific and peaceful. Unfortunately, weather was a little non cooperative, rain with snow, but it was still a part of great experience. My mistake was buying the tour through the third party. Just go to Hielo & Aventura, it’s only one company there does the trekking tour. Also, so called “Pro tour” is the same trekking N2 , I paid more money for no additional. Be careful.
