Detailed Description
The Safari Azul tour starts from El Calafate, from where a bus will take us to Los Glaciares National Park.
Once in Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, only 7 km from the footbridges, we will follow our guide and take a boat to cross Lago Rico, and after sailing for 20 minutes we will disembark on the opposite shore. Step by step we will walk through a natural terrain of sand and stones with some slopes and stairs, always facing the south wall of the Glacier in case we are surprised by a sudden and thunderous landslide, until we reach the ice and finally touch the Perito Moreno Glacier itself!
We will stay for some time to fully enjoy its shapes and colors and, after many pictures, we will return to the boarding area. On the boat you will be able to appreciate the face of the glacier and every detail of the icy marble wall.
Once at the port, we will take the bus to the walkways, where we will have 2 hours to enjoy the incredible panoramic view and free time for lunch (not included).
Finally we will arrive to El Calafate after crossing the Patagonian steppe, recharged with the natural energy of this unique glacier.
