The Blue Safari is designed for those who, in addition to sailing in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier, dream of getting closer to the glacial ice. Enjoy its intense blues, whites and its whimsical shapes. Only for people between 6 and 70 years old.

The tour begins in El Calafate when the bus leaves for Los Glaciares National Park. Once in Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, just 7 km from the footbridges, you will take a boat to cross Lago Rico and, after sailing 20 minutes, you will disembark on the opposite coast.

You will walk for 30 minutes always with a view of the southern wall of the Glacier in the hope that you will be surprised by some thunderous landslide. Once next to the ice it will be time for an unforgettable experience. You will be able to fully enjoy its intense and varied blues, whites and its whimsical shapes.

You will have time to take many photos and then you will return to the embarkation point always accompanied by an experienced guide. The total walk is approximately 1.30 hours through a natural terrain of sand and stones with some slopes and stairs.

The route, one and a half kilometers long, will be along the shore of the lake and through a lush forest with a view of the Glacier.

Finally, you will take the boat to appreciate from the water and, a few meters away, the entire southern face of the glacier and be able to see every detail of the marbled ice wall.

Once in the port, you will take the bus to the walkways, where you will have 2 hours to enjoy the incredible panoramic view.

You will arrive in El Calafate after touring the Patagonian steppe, with your soul charged with the natural energy of this unique glacier.

Although the intensity is low, the terrain presents stones, gentle slopes and stairs. See less
