The Blue Safari offers a unique opportunity for those who dream of getting close to the stunning Perito Moreno Glacier while sailing nearby. The excursion begins in El Calafate with a bus ride to Los Glaciares National Park. Upon reaching Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, just about 4 miles from the walkways, you'll board a boat to cross Lago Rico, enjoying a 20-minute scenic ride before disembarking on the opposite shore.
From there, you'll embark on a leisurely 30-minute walk along the south wall of the glacier, with the chance to witness the breathtaking spectacle of ice calving. As you approach the glacier, prepare for an unforgettable experience, surrounded by its vivid blues, whites, and intricate formations, perfect for photography.
Accompanied by an experienced guide, you'll navigate a 1-mile trail through sandy and rock terrain, including some slopes and stairs, while taking in views of the glacier and lush forest. Afterward, you'll board the boat again to admire the glacier's majestic south face from the water, allowing you to appreciate the intricate details of its frozen wall.
Once back at the port, the tour continues to the walkways, where you'll have two hours to soak in the panoramic views while enjoying the lunch you packed. Finally, you'll return to El Calafate, feeling rejuvenated by the breathtaking natural beauty of this extraordinary glacier.
