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.

Tour Details

We will meet at the Bajos las Sombras port, located 4 miles (7 km) from the Perito Moreno glacier, and set off across Rico Lake. After approximately 20 minutes of cruising, we will disembark on the opposite shore and begin a 1 hour and 30 minutes hike. During the hike, participants will have a chance to touch the Perito Moreno glacier, and the route will run alongside the lake shores through a forest offering glacier views. The hike ends at the starting point, from where we will return to the boat and admire the bluish-ice floes from the panoramic deck. The total duration of the tour is 3 hours, concluding at Bajo las Sombras port.
