Big Ice - Hike on the Perito Moreno Glacier

As in the traditional excursion, we will take Provincial Route 11 towards the Magallanes Peninsula. We will start our excursion in the self-guided circuits of the park. We will have one hour to go through them and then we will go by land for about 7 km to the port "Bajo de las Sombras", we will take a boat to cross the Brazo Rico, and we will disembark 20 minutes later on the opposite coast. Small groups of up to 10 people are organized and start the hike (4 hours approx) that begins on the southern moraine of the glacier, and in just over an hour you will arrive at a spectacular viewpoint where you will access the ice. There the mountain guides will place the crampons, harnesses and helmets to begin the crossing and will explain the basic safety rules. Once on the glacier and with the crampons on, the world takes on a new perspective: being able to reach the very heart of the glacier, blue lagoons, deep crevasses, huge sinkholes, magical caves, and the unique sensation of feeling at the heart of the glacier. Always accompanied by mountain guides, you will explore for about three and a half hours the nooks and crannies of the most special glacier in the world. During the tour, the guides will help you get to know the ice and its surroundings better, and you will be able to size up the magnitude of the glacier and enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains, such as the Dos Picos, Pietrobelli and Cervantes hills. In addition, you will have half an hour to have lunch on the white mantle and be surprised in a place of unparalleled beauty. Once back on the moraine, you will walk for another hour to take the boat back, and sail very close to the south face of the Perito Moreno Glacier and then return to "civilization", after having enjoyed one of the most spectacular ice treks in the world!
