For those who dream of touching the Glacier and enjoying it up close, Safari Azul, besides sailing in front of the south face of the Perito Moreno Glacier, offers the experience of touching the glacier with our hands.
Leaving from El Calafate when the bus departs to Los Glaciares National Park. The first stop is at Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, only 7 km from the footbridges, where you board a boat that crosses the Rico Lake and, after sailing for 20 minutes, disembarks on the opposite shore.
There we start a 30-minute walk, which brings us closer to the glacier until we TOUCH IT!
You can enjoy its intense and varied blues, whites and the whimsical shapes of the ice There will be enough time to take pictures before returning to the embarkation point, always accompanied by an experienced guide.
The total walk takes approximately 1.30 hours through a natural terrain of sand and stones with some slopes and stairs, along the lake shore and a lush forest overlooking the glacier.
Again on board you can see the Moreno from the water, and a few meters away, touring the SOUTH FACE in its entirety.
At the port, the bus will be waiting to take you to the footbridges, where you will have two hours to enjoy the incredible panoramic view and have lunch (LUNCH NOT INCLUDED).
