Blue Safari Experience: Hiking and Navigation on Glaciers
Description
The Blue Safari is designed for those who, besides sailing in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier, dream of getting close to the glacier ice! This tour is a wonderful option to see, be amazed and marvel at the Perito Moreno Glacier, allowing us to return with a soul full of natural energy. Once in Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, just 7 km from the footbridges, we will take a boat to cross Lago Rico and, after sailing for 20 minutes, we will disembark on the opposite shore. Little by little we will walk for 30 minutes always with a view to the south wall of the Glacier in case we are surprised by a thunderous detachment. Once next to the ice, it will be time for an unforgettable experience? We will be able to fully enjoy its intense and varied blues, whites and whimsical shapes. We will have time to take lots of pictures and then we will return to the boarding place always accompanied by an experienced guide.

The tour was fantastic! Great walkways throughout the park to get amazing views and lots of photos of the Glacier. The boat ride provided a different and real perspective of the Glacier and the hike up close was a wonderful way to finish!

The whole experience was enjoyable - great walkways throughout the park for viewing the Glacier from all vantage points. It was amazing walking next to the Glacier also. It provided a real perspective of the height of the Glacier-face and the opportunity to hear and see ice-falls up close!

Good: - the walkways allow for incredible views/photos of Perito Moreno. Access is correct and there are many viewpoints with benches where you can take advantage of lunch (if you bring food) - Then the boat section near the Glacier face is very good - The best: tracking on the side of the glacier (and touching it!) - In my case I couldn't do Minitrekking in Glacier due to age but we coincided on the walkways with the rest of the group Not so good: impossible to buy something in parador place catwalks (many people) You have to walk carefully trekking along the Glacier, to avoid falls/bumps. Excellent: explanation from the guide who carries out the trekking part in groups of approximately 10 people (English / Spanish): he talks about the glacier and also about the flora of the place

The main reason for arriving at Calafate was to be able to walk above the glaciers, but being completely exhausted, we opted to do this experience and it was fantastic, we were able to walk next to the glacier, touch it and even have a few drinks with glacier ice. We recommend bringing a coat. Thanks for the service
