Dare to do a mini-trekking in the Perito Moreno Glacier! The tour begins with the trip from El Calafate to the Bajo de las Sombras port (about an hour and a half), where you embark to cross Lake Rico. Groups of up to 20 people are formed, who take a 20-minute walk to the glacier and, once with the crampons on, the ascent begins. The tour lasts approximately 1.30hs and you can enjoy the ice formations; learn about the flora, fauna and glaciology of the region; and, especially, about the phenomenon of glacier rupture. Then, you return to the refuge through the Magellanic forest and, from there, cross the Rich Arm of Lake Argentino to navigate in front of the glacier.
