The Big Ice Perito Moreno Tour is an amazing experience that includes a 3-hour walk on the ice of the Perito Moreno Glacier, a 4-hour trek through the Andean Patagonian Forest next to the glacier and a boat ride. You will see unique ice formations such as sinkholes, crevasses, lagoons and, occasionally, caves. The physically demanding Big Ice Perito Moreno tour differs from the Minitrekking tour by including a 3-hour walk on the ice and reaching the center of the glacier.

If you book the tour with transfer included, we will pick you up from your hotel in El Calafate at 6:45 a.m. to begin the 78-km journey to the Perito Moreno Glacier, located within Los Glaciares National Park. Once there, you will visit the glacier balconies for 1 hour. Then, you will continue to Port Bajo de las Sombras where you will embark to cross the Brazo Rico (Rico Arm) of Lake Argentino. After a 20-minute boat tour along Perito Moreno, you will reach the southern shore of the lake.

Upon disembarking, you will be greeted by mountain guides to begin a 4-hour trek along a trail in the Patagonian Andean Forest next to the glacier. Occasionally, you will trek over the moraine, a formation of glacial material. The trek along this mountain trail lasts 2 hours until you reach a spectacular viewpoint. Crampons will then be put on to walk on the ice without slipping and then you will access the glacier. Once on the ice, the 3-hour crampon hike begins during which you will see incredible blue lagoons, deep crevasses, eternal sinkholes, and surprising ice caves.

After a 3-hour trek on the ice, you will return following the same forest and moraine trail you followed on your way to the glacier. Once back on the boat, you will sail along the south face of Perito Moreno, where you will enjoy a shot of whiskey with ice from the glacier. After this unique experience, you will return to Port Bajo de las Sombras and return to the city of El Calafate at 7:00 p.m., having experienced one of the most spectacular treks in the world.
