Moderate

Touch the Perito Moreno Glacier with your own hands. Walk through the Patagonian forest, sail between icebergs and enjoy unique views from the footbridges. A complete experience close to the heart of the ice.

What is this experience?

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

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

    During the day you can hear ice slides, spot Patagonian fauna 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.
