I was on my honeymoon with my husband and we picked this activity to break up some long days of travel. I'm so glad we did, the glacier was absolutely stunning and our guide was thoughtful and considerate of the whole group and our needs. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the wildlife, flowers, and history of the glacier. It was such a cool experience to walk along the glacier and look down into seemingly endless crevasses! We stayed safe and on a designated trail, followed with some scotch and chocolate, on the glacier rocks! Our guide encouraged us to be present and enjoy the once in a lifetime experience. 10/10 experience. Thanks for making our honeymoon so much more special!

The tour is beautiful and the guides are brilliant. Unfortunately, the minus star is due to poor management by Headsout, as they have local partners who run the tours and gave them all the wrong information. If I hadn't happened to go to the partner's office to ask about something else, I would have missed the tour because all my information was entered incorrectly. With someone else's details.

Experience glacier trekking on Perito Moreno with expert guides, complete with a safety briefing and all equipment provided.

Trek alongside fellow adventurers (for trekkers aged 8 to 65) in a friendly setting, with guides fostering a welcoming and supportive environment.

Great experience, breathtaking views, great guides

Walk on the Perito Moreno Glacier and feel the thrill of stepping on ancient ice. This guided mini trekking adventure blends adrenaline, stunning scenery, and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to explore one of the world’s few advancing glaciers.

Getting started

Your adventure begins at Puerto Bajo de las Sombras in Los Glaciares National Park, where you’ll meet your guides and board a boat across Brazo Rico. As you sail close to the glacier’s towering south face, excitement builds for the icy adventure ahead. After landing, a short walk brings you to the starting point of your glacier trek.

What to expect

Led by expert mountain guides, this tour lets you safely walk across the glacier itself—discovering crevasses, lagoons, and crystal-blue ice formations that few travelers ever experience. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and wonder.

Features:

Walk on the glacier: Strap on your crampons and follow your guide on a one-hour walk across the ice, exploring meltwater pools and brilliant blue ridges along the way.

Scenic forest trail: Hike through native lenga and ñire forests before and after your trek, surrounded by pure Patagonian wilderness and breathtaking glacier views.

Toast to the adventure: End your glacier walk with a celebratory surprise. It is served over 10,000-year-old ice and is the perfect way to mark an unforgettable experience.

Upgrades: Choose the option to include hotel transfers for a seamless visit.

What to bring

Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy, closed-toe shoes suitable for trekking on ice.

Bring a valid photo ID to match the name on your booking if requested at the entrance.

It is recommended to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, gloves, and a hat for protection against the sun and cold.
