The Minitrekking starts at Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, located 70 km from El Calafate. There you will embark to cross the Brazo Rico, arriving at the opposite coast after approximately 20 minutes of navigation in front of the imposing south face of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
Upon arrival, you will be met by expert mountain guides, who will divide you into sub-groups and accompany you throughout the tour.
The trekking starts with a walk along the shore of the lake for about an hour, where you will enjoy the wonderful view and receive a talk about glaciology from the guides. Before climbing onto the ice, the guides will put on crampons and helmets and explain the basic safety rules.
You will explore the glacier for approximately 1 hour and, at the end, you will walk through the periglacial area and the lateral moraine from where you will have a panoramic view of the Perito Moreno Glacier, the mountains and the lake.
Afterwards, you will return along a path through the lush Andean Patagonian forest, completing the three-hour walk along the lake shore, ice, moraine and forest.
At the end of this last part of the walk, you will return by boat to Puerto Bajo Las Sombras.
