Minitrekking and walkways on the Perito Moreno Glacier from El Calafate

Description

❄️ Perito Moreno Glacier Expedition

  • A journey over living ice that cannot be repeated

    With tight crampons and the crunch of ice beneath your feet, you begin to walk on one of the most imposing natural wonders on the planet: the     Perito Moreno Glacier, the most emblematic glacier tongue of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, the third largest ice mass on Earth after Antarctica and Greenland.

    With each step, a blue and white world sculpted by centuries of natural history unfolds: deep crevasses, crystalline lagoons, tunnels, and textures carved by time. All accompanied by expert guides, controlled safety, and a unique sensation: that of     stepping on a glacier that is alive and moving.

    And just when you think you've seen it all, the perfect ending arrives: right there, on the ice, the guide breaks a layer with his pick, pours     whisky over ancient ice, and the ritual is completed with chocolates. A simple, icy, and exciting toast that is never forgotten.

    Afterwards, from the panoramic walkways, you look at it from the outside again. Monumental. Wild. Unforgettable.

“I thought it would just be impressive... but it was deeply emotional. I've never felt anything like it.” — Valeria, Mexico
