About this trip

 A NEW ADVENTURE BEGINS...

The tour starts when passengers are picked up in El Calafate. 

You will board our comfortable buses, where our tour guides will give you information on the place, the glacier and the tour on our way to Parque Nacional Los Glaciares.


Once you arrive at “Bajo de las Sombras” port (located on Route 11, 70 Km from El Calafate), you’ll board a ship to cross Lago Rico and descend on the opposite coast, after a 20-minute navigation in front of the stunning south face of Glaciar Perito Moreno.


When you disembark, you will be welcomed by our expert mountain guides, who will lead you to a cozy shelter with a privileged view of the glacier. Here starts the trekking! We will start by walking along the coast of the lake, keeping our eyes on the glacier so that we do not miss any ice calvings. Then, the guides will give a talk about glaciology.


When we reach the glacier side, with its amazing shades of blue ice framing the landscape, you will be divided into subgroups of up to 20 people each and you will have the crampons and helmets fitted, which are provided by the company. This tour is highly personalized (one guide every up to 10 passengers). 


Once on the glacier, you will hear the safety instructions and you will walk to enjoy this frozen paradise, which has been declared a Word Heritage Site in 1981.


At the end of the ice trekking, you will walk on the area around the glacier and the side moraine, from where you will be able to enjoy a panoramic view of Glaciar Perito Moreno, the mountains and the lake. Later, you will return along a path crossing the exuberant Bosque Andino Patagónico, completing the THREE-HOUR WALK ON THE LAKE COAST, MORAINE, ICE AND WOODS (about one hour is on the glacier’s ice). When we arrive to the shelter, we will give visitors hot drinks and a souvenir. Shortly after, you will embark to return to “Bajo de las Sombras” port, but before departing you will be able to watch the huge walls of the glacier from the ship.

We had prompt courteous service. We were well prepared for the amazing Iguazú Falls trip. Communication with Que Hacer was exceptional. Fortunately flights from Buenos Aires were on time. Our guide Mickaela was knowledgeable and gave an insightful explanation of the rain forest and the falls. First class private tour. Highly recommended

Great tour, good value for money, everything was perfectly organized and the Iguazu Falls are just spectacular! Only thing I didn't realize before is that you really get SOAKING WET on the boat tour - bringing a swimsuit is recommended! ;-) Many thanks Julian@Que hacer en Buenos Aires, for making it possible within just a couple of hours.

This was a great trip! A guide (Hector) and driver met me at the airport and took me directly to Iguazu Falls. I was able to do all the trails on the Argentina plus the incredibly fun boat ride in one day. There is no way I could have done this in one day without Hector! He was very knowledgeable about the park, and added to the experience in multiple ways.
