El Calafate Perito Moreno Glacier Minitrekking Adventure Tour
Description
Dare to do a minitrekking in the Perito Moreno Glacier! I lived the experience of walking on the glacier. This unmissable experience begins in the “Bajo de las sombras” port, within the Los Glaciares National Park. The tour lasts approximately 2 hours and you will be able to enjoy the ice formations; learn about the flora, fauna and glaciology of the region; and, especially, on the phenomenon of rupture of the glacier. Being a moderate walk, on an irregular but firm surface, it can only be done by people between 08 and 65 years old, due to its physical demands. Neither can pregnant women or people with reduced mobility, arthritis, prostheses, knee problems, meniscus problems, overweight people, or people with heart problems. The activity does not include food, so you must bring your own lunch and a bottle of water (There is no possibility of buying food anywhere).

Very well organized trip! Everybody had fun. Thank you! Only one thing I’d suggest to include the entry fee into the national park. Buying it online by yourself, you need to understand Spanish.
It was a spectacular day with the mini trekking adventure. Although expensive, totally worth it. Don’t hesitate or wait to book till you get to El Calafate, because it will be sold out. I loved the entire day. You get to explore the glacier from a distance, by boat and on ice. Our guide to the glacier was wonderful, speaking Spanish and English. We learned a lot from him. Once arriving by boat to the glacier, we were split into English and Spanish speaking grounps. Our ice trekking guide Arrua Emanuel, was excellent. He shared so much knowledge about the glacier with us. He was fun to be around and always offered to take photos, knowing the best photo spots. He made the adventure extra special.
I really recommend this tour. You have an amazing experience than just looking at Graciar from distance. Only one thing that was a bit annoyed was buying tickets. It was bad internet and couldn’t use credit card so suggest you to buy in advance
This is an incredible experience worth every single penny. The staff treated us wonderfully. The experience was safe and you never felt rushed. There are many places in the world that you can hike, an experience glacier with whiskey lol.
The tour was amazing, I totally recommend it. We started with the boat ride which was amazing, great views and they take their time so you can enjoy. The trek was great and you will see a lot of great scenery and at the end drink whiskey with ice from the glacier. Amazing scenery and lots to see.
It was a very enjoyable tour of adding new experience to life. The guides are very informative & explained all the details related to ice. It is such a beautiful scenery for the eyes on what the mother nature has provided to us. Highly recommend to join this tour for a memorable experience.
The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. Their primary concerns for safety and of the guests and our enjoyment went above and beyond our expectations. Leo and Sebastián were amazing.
The day before we made our reservation, we were suddenly told by email that there was no space available for us due to overbooking. It was canceled the day before and we couldn't make another reservation, so it was a really awful experience. We came from Japan in 1.5 days and were traveling with no time to spare, so I think this is really the worst treatment we've received. I hope God punishes you!
Trekking on the glacier is an other-worldly experience. Our guide Joaquin was just wonderful in every way. He brought such joy to the experience. You will remember those moments. Do it!
All three guides were great, very personable. It was well-organized. Walking on the glacier was a special experience, obviously!
