This is a full-day excursion that departs from the city of El Calafate, considered the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park.
It can be booked with or without a hotel transfer, depending on your preference. Both options offer a unique combination of hiking and sailing.
If you choose the option with transportation, you will enjoy a comfortable trip from your accommodation in El Calafate to Muelle Bajo las Sombras, located just 7 km from the iconic glacier walkways. Otherwise, you must make your own way to the port and arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled time.
From Puerto Bajo las Sombras, we board a boat to cross the Rico Arm of Lake Argentino on a short 20-minute trip, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes.
Upon reaching the opposite shore, we all begin a guided hike of approximately 1.5 hours along natural trails. The route crosses a lush Patagonian forest and skirts the lake's shoreline until it reaches the southern wall of Perito Moreno Glacier. This is one of the most impressive moments of the tour: getting a close look at its imposing shapes and bluish colors, and listening to the creaking and calving of the ice. Along the way, expert guides will share fascinating facts about the history, formation, and dynamics of the glacier.
After the hike, you'll return to the boat for a final cruise in front of the glacier. This part of the experience lets you see the ice wall from a different perspective, just a few meters away, taking in unique details and incredible textures that can only be seen from the water.
If you have booked the excursion with transfer, the vehicle will then take you to the famous glacier walkways, where you will have approximately two hours of free time to explore them at your leisure. These structures offer exceptional panoramic views from different angles and heights.
It is important to note that the Los Glaciares National Park entrance fee is not included in the price of the tour and must be paid separately, directly at the park entrance.
Food and beverages are also not included, so we recommend bringing a packed lunch, snacks, water, and everything you need for the day. In addition, it is essential to have comfortable, waterproof clothing, trekking shoes, and accessories such as gloves, a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses.
The Blue Safari is not just a tour, but a transformative experience in contact with one of the most impressive natural wonders of the Argentine Patagonia. Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of the south, feel the energy of the glacier, and experience an unforgettable adventure. Book now and discover the power of nature at its finest!
