Perito Moreno Southern Face Boat Trip & Hiking

On our boat trip along the southern face of Perito Moreno, we'll cruise along the glacier's blue ice floes and set off on a hike along the coastline. What are you waiting for?

Tour Details

Having met up at the Bajos las Sombras port, which is only 4 miles (7 km) away from the Perito Moreno glacier, we'll set off across Rico Lake.

After around 20 minutes of cruising, we'll disembark on the opposite shore to begin a 1 hour and 30 minutes hike. During our hike, we'll be able to touch the Perito Moreno glacier and traverse the shores of the lake, crossing a forest with views of the glacier. This provides opportunities for photography.

The hike concludes at its starting point, from where we'll reboard the boat to admire the bluish-ice floes from the panoramic deck. The boat trip ends at the Bajo las Sombras port after a total of 3 hours.
