What makes Guided Trek Through Perito Moreno Glacier a unique experience ?

Upon reaching the viewing platform, you'll be treated to a breathtaking sight: the glacier's imposing 196-foot (60 meter) front wall, adorned with its jagged white peaks.
We'll then transfer to the dock where we'll embark on a 20-minute boat ride through the Rico Arm of Lake Argentino. During the journey, you'll relish stunning views of the front wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
