The Perito Moreno Glacier is the largest advancing glacier in the world. Due to its idyllic location, the opportunities for outdoor adventure are unparalleled. From hiking through snow capped mountain peaks and cycling around wide open lakes, to trekking the icy surface of glaciers and paddling past ice blocks in kayaks, you can find it all!

Perito Moreno Ice Trekking

Today, you will embark on an unforgettable visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier! This is the world's most accessible glacier, and this excursion offers you the chance to truly soak in its natural beauty and sheer size. The scenery at the glacier is simply spectacular.

To begin this journey you will be picked up very early this morning by a local guide, who will take you to the National Park Los Glaciares. Standing in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier is moving and exhilarating. It makes you feel as though you could stay in that exact position for hours and hours, contemplating the huge vertical wall of ice towering before your eyes. However, you are in luck, because today you are going to have the opportunity for much more than just looking from a far! Today, you will actually come face to face with the glacier, as you head out trekking over the multi colored ice, on your mini trekking group tour. So, gear up with your ice trekking equipment and get ready for the experience of a lifetime!

When your guided trek is over, you will be left with enough time to walk on the trails, 500 m in front of the great ice wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Just to give you an idea of the size, the glacier measures in at 60 m tall, by 5 km wide. Believe it or not, it's total height is actually 200 m, however 140 m of it are submerged underwater. After plenty of time to explore, you will be returned to your hotel later in the day.

*Please note park entrance fee cannot be included and must be paid directly (currently 500 pesos, approximately $28) (This service is on a group basis.)

Although your adventure must come to an end today, you will be leaving with new friends, amazing experiences and memories to cherish for the rest of your life.
