Touch the Perito Moreno Glacier with a walk and Blue Safari navigation

Description

What is this experience?

  • The glacier creaks, the air is cold and clear. You are in front of the Perito Moreno, one of the giants of Patagonia. You are not looking at it from a distance: you are touching it.

    This tour allows you to experience the glacier from all perspectives. You sail through the Brazo Rico among icebergs, walk through Andean forest trails to the base of the glacier to touch it, and walk the walkways with panoramic views that leave you speechless.

    During the day, you can hear ice breaking off, spot Patagonian wildlife, and feel that, for a moment, you are part of this constantly moving landscape.

    Ideal for those who want more than just to see: they want to be there.
