ペリト・モレノ氷河ミニトレッキングツアー

The mini trek was a once in a lifetime experience on the most stunning glacier I've ever seen. I highly recommend it!!!

Rather than repeat everyone else saying what an amazing trip this is (& it is, if you can afford it, do it) I thought I'd write a review about the logistics of driving in your own car to Puerto Bajo. (where the boat leaves from) I was told by H&A that the drive would take me about 1.30 to 1.40 & that I should get there at least 30 mins early. My tour started at 0845. However the park only opens at 8am and it's a 20-30 min drive from the entrance to the port so you cannot arrive much before 0830. If you pre paid or are paying by cash you don't need to go into the office. Just grab one of the staff and show them your pass (or give them your cash) and they go and get your pass for you. Unlike El Chalten showing them your online purchase isn't enough, you have to receive a green paper ticket. If you're paying by card then you have to queue up to go into the office. If you arrive after 0830 though there probably won't be a queue. Puerto Bajo is about 15km from the park entrance. Their sign isn't prominent but you can see the boats as you come round an earlier bend in the road. In the end arriving at 0830 (or even later) wasn't a problem as the boat wasn't scheduled to leave until 0900. There is plenty of parking, and there are toilets both at the port and onboard. When you arrive at the other side there is a place to leave your rucksack and/or lunch before embarking on the hike and there are toilets there also. This is also where they give you gloves if you don’t have any. They’re not for the cold but to protect your hand should you fall. Overall we left Puerto Bajo at 9am and by 1.45pm we were back at the port.

Trekking on a glacier was surreal. I felt like I was on another planet. The ice was beautiful and the guides were all fantastic! Highly recommend

One of the best things we did in Argentina. I’m 64 years old and in moderate good shape and not too difficult. However to walk on the glacier you need good knees because with each step you have to stomp your foot hard in the ice so the crampon’s stick. Otherwise you might slip. Lots of quad work. One tip; tie your shoes very tightly because your foot will slip and once they put the crampons in it’s too late to tighten them. Tour guides were fabulous and they assisted with steep parts plus there are guardrails in many parts. On glacier for about 90 minutes.

A very impressive experience, extraordinary beautiful views; attentive, careful, friendly guides; brilliantly organized trekking.

What a breathtaking and truly beautiful experience. This tour lets you see the glacier from multiple angles, including the unforgettable perspective from directly on top of it. The guides were friendly, professional, and made it clear that safety was a top priority throughout the entire trek. The distance itself is short, less than two miles, but the crampons add an extra layer of challenge that makes it feel adventurous without being overwhelming. Anyone in average physical shape should be able to enjoy this experience comfortably. This is one of those rare, once in a lifetime experiences that fully lives up to the hype and then some.

We had great weather and the views were incredible. The trek is very short but gives you plenty of chances to take memorable pictures.

Book directly with hielo & aventure - they do all the tours. Viator just charges you way more! I paid 3 times the price of the tour direct. The sights are unbelievable

We had a perfect day trekking on the glacier and experiencing the ice up close. The views of the glacier from the boat were spectacular. Our guide was both informative and funny making for an enjoyable exploration.

The mini-trekking experience is one of the highlights I had in Patagonia. It's well organized and the company Hielo y Aventura is a professional operator. On this one-day excursion, we were able to see the imposing Perito Moreno glacier from the national park walkaways, take a boat to experience it from close view along with the floating ice bergs, and trek on ice for an hour to see the spike of white, blue, white and gray ice pillars that make up the glacier. I felt I couldn't have dreamed of a more beautiful site than this. Simply no reference point. My guide Tamara accompanied the full bus from beginning to end. She is energetic, funny and eager to her knowledge and love for the region with us. Everyone enjoyed her interactions. I also had Marcos as my trekking guide, who is very good at guiding a group of unorganized tourists not to go where we aren't supposed to. Safety is their number one priority! Overall, this is a fun and informative experience. The whisky, chocolate, and hot tea at the end add a sweet touch to the unforgettable memory. Would recommend!
