Get to know the Perito Moreno Glacier from close up

The Blue Safari begins at Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, located 70 km from El Calafate. There you will embark to cross Lago Rico, arriving at the opposite shore after approximately 20 minutes of navigation in front of the imposing south face of the Perito Moreno Glacier.

Once arrived, and always accompanied by expert guides, you will walk for thirty minutes until you reach the side of the glacier, where you will have time to touch the ice, take pictures and enjoy the wonderful scenery.

You will then return to the embarkation point, completing the hour and a half hike, which takes place along the lake shore and through a lush forest.

Finally, you will take the boat back to Puerto Bajo las Sombras.
