The Safari Azul Tour has been thought for people willing to navigate in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier and enjoy being very close to the ice.

The tour will start in the city of El Calafate when the bus departs towards Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. Once you arrive at the “Bajo de las Sombras” port (at only 7 Km from the walkways), you’ll board a ship to cross Lago Rico and descend on the opposite coast after a 20-minute navigation.

After walking for about 30 minutes, always with a view of the southern side of the glacier just in case there were thunderous ice calvings, and after reaching the ice, you’ll have an unforgettable experience. At that point, you’ll also enjoy different and intense shades of blue and white colors, with capricious forms.

Passengers will have enough time to take pictures and afterwards return to the embarking point accompanied by our experienced guide.?You’ll enjoy an hour-and-a-half walk along a natural surface of sand and stones, with some slopes and stairs. You’ll walk about 1.5 kilometers by the cost of the lake and through a greenwood with a view to the Perito Moreno Glacier.

Finally, you’ll embark on the ship to enjoy, from the water and at only some meters away, every detail of the marbled side of the glacier.

Upon arriving to the port, you’ll take the bus towards the walkways where you’ll have two hours to enjoy an incredible panoramic view. You’ll also have time to have the lunch you brought from El Calafate.
