FABIO'S REVIEW

To visit the southern part of the Perito Moreno glacier, and climb on it, you need to use the local travel agency “Hielo & Aventura” (Ice and Adventure). Personally I always prefer going on my own, but in this case there is no choice: it is a monopoly, if you want to climb the glacier you need to use their services, period. It is not cheap but well organized, so I highly recommend it.

LOCATIONS EXPERIENCED

1- BUS & BOAT TRIP

Glacier Perito Moreno is less than two hours by bus from El Calafate. You will then take a boat to reach the shores of the glacier.

2 - BASE CAMP

A base camp with tents, where the staff will provide all necessary equipment to climb the glacier.

3 - TREKKING

There are two trekking tours, a "mini-trekking" consisting of a short walk of about an hour and a half, and a "big ice" version, which is usually about five hours.
