Safari Azul
Boat ride and lakeshore walk to get close to Perito Moreno Glacier without walking on the ice.
Safari Azul offers a different approach to Perito Moreno: cross Lago Rico, walk along the shore and through the forest until reaching the ice edge, then return by boat in front of the glacier’s southern face.
From US$ 200
The experience
Boat crossing, around 1.5 hours of walking over sand, stones, slopes and forest, close approach to the ice and navigation along the southern wall. With transfer booked, about 2 hours at the walkways are added.
