This boat tour departs from port Bajo de las Sombras, inside the National Park, and sails along Brazo Chico on Argentino lake toward the southern wall of the Perito Moreno glacier.
For almost an hour you will sail along the 70 mts/210 feet wall getting an amazing view of the falling ice and a superb perspective of the entire glacier
2)Minitrekking Perito Moreno
The tour starts at the Bajo de las Sombras pier which is located about 3 km before the Perito Moreno Glacier wall. The boat crosses the Rico branch and the group gets off to start the trekking. Tourist are divided into small groups and assigned a Guide. Crampons are provided for all group members.
