• Full-Day Safari Azul to Perito Moreno Glacier

We will pick you up from your hotel to head to Los Glaciares National Park. We will arrive at Bajo las Sombras Port, just 7 km from the walkways, where we will embark to cross Lake Rico for 20 minutes until we disembark on the opposite shore.

Accompanied by the guide, we will walk along the lake shore for 30 minutes, observing the south face of the Perito Moreno Glacier, keeping an eye out for possible calving events, enjoying the scenery, and taking photos. We will return to the embarkation point through a dense forest, and then navigate again to appreciate the southern face of the glacier from the water, just a few meters away.

Upon returning to the port, we will take the bus to the park walkways, where we will have 2 hours to enjoy the incredible panoramic view.

If you wish to have lunch after the tour, the park has a service area with a restaurant and a snack bar. After exploring, we will take you back to your hotel.

We recommend: Trekking to the Base Torres Viewpoint. Take the park’s main trail to a famous viewpoint, where you can marvel at the slender granite peaks that give the national park its name. 

The excursion begins at Hotel Las Torres, where we will start a hike through the Ascencio Valley. Along the way, we will cross a beautiful lenga forest and later reach a rocky area known as La Morrena, the most challenging section of the trail, before arriving at the spectacular Base Torres Viewpoint. After enjoying a snack and some time for photography, we will return to the hotel along the same trail.
