Minitrekking
Crampon walk on Perito Moreno Glacier combined with a boat crossing and time at the walkways.
The experience
One of the most direct ways to experience the ice of Perito Moreno. After crossing Lago Rico, the route follows the lakeshore, moraine and forest before fitting crampons for around one hour on the glacier.
