Perito Moreno Glacier Minitrekking Excursion

Minitrekking is a Full day Excursion that allows you to walk on the top of a Moreno Glacier with crampons. Operation from August to May. Does not operate during June and July. Duration: 10 hours Trekking on the Ice: About an hour and a half. Total trekking time: approximately 3 hours. Warning: this excursion, due to the degree of effort and difficulty that presents, is not advisable for the following people: greater of 65 years and minors of 10 years old, pregnant women, people with overweight or some type of disability.

The excursion begins with the pick up from the hotels in El Calafate city, and goes through the Provincial Road N°11 to the Perito Moreno Glacier area, after traveling 75 km.

Once at the National Park, the bus takes you to the balconies and the guide is going to be waiting for you, to inform about the different trails. There, you’ll be free to walk along.

A bus from the company will take you to "Bajo las Sombras" pier, about 6 km far from the balconies, where you embark for a 20 minutes navigation across the Brazo Rico, enjoying breathtaking views of the glacier’s front walls and the Canal de los Témpanos (Icebergs Channel).

After checking the last details, groups of 20 follow their guides along the lake’s shore towards the edge of the glacier. Once on the ice, the guides put each participant a pair of crampons on, and explain how to use them. You will receive explanations about flora, fauna and general glaciology of the region, and also about the particular phenomenon that happens in the Perito Moreno Glacier and eventually produces its rupture.

Once the minitrekking is finished we return to pier "Bajo Las Sombras", navigating the Brazo Rico again.

The bus will be waiting for passengers at the port to take them back to their hotels in El Calafate
