About this trip

 

The tour begins with pickups in El Calafate, followed by a comfortable bus journey with informative commentary about the area, the glacier, and the tour. Upon arrival at "Bajo de las Sombras" port, passengers board a ship to cross Lago Rico and disembark on the opposite coast, enjoying stunning views of Glaciar Perito Moreno along the way.


Expert mountain guides welcome passengers and lead them to a shelter with a prime view of the glacier to start the trek. Walking along the lake's coast, guests are treated to the spectacle of ice calvings and receive a talk on glaciology from the guides. Once at the glacier's side, participants are divided into small groups and equipped with crampons and helmets for safety. The personalized tour includes one guide for every ten passengers.


On the glacier, safety instructions are provided before guests embark on a journey through the frozen paradise, designated a World Heritage Site in 1981. After the ice trekking, visitors explore the area around the glacier and the side moraine, enjoying panoramic views of Glaciar Perito Moreno, the mountains, and the lake. The return journey includes a walk through the lush Bosque Andino Patagónico.


Upon returning to the shelter, visitors are offered hot drinks and a souvenir before embarking on the ship back to "Bajo de las Sombras" port. Before departure, passengers have the opportunity to admire the glacier's immense walls from the ship once more. Overall, the tour provides a comprehensive and memorable experience spanning three hours, encompassing the lake coast, moraine, ice, and woods

We Loved it!!! The show was fantastic, my sceptical husband loved it to, the setting in the hotel was fabulous, we were collected from our hotel and driven back which was very nice. The meal and wine was good and meant we had front row seats! I highly recommend Rojo Tango!

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.
