The Safari Azul is designed for those who wish to sail in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier and experience the thrill of being up close to its impressive ice formations.
This unique adventure offers an intimate encounter with one of Patagonia’s most iconic natural wonders, allowing you to admire its beauty from a perspective few get to enjoy.
The adventure begins early in the morning with a 70 km shared transfer to Puerto Bajo las Sombras, the starting point for a journey across the Brazo Rico of Lago Argentino. The boat ride, lasting approximately 20 minutes, will take you to the opposite shore, directly in front of the southern face of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
From there, you’ll embark on a 30-minute walk through a scenic trail that leads to the glacier’s edge. Here, you’ll have the rare opportunity to touch the ancient ice and marvel at its mesmerizing hues and intricate formations—a truly magical moment for all nature enthusiasts.
The return journey to the boat is equally enchanting, taking around 90 minutes along the lake’s shore and through a vibrant, lush forest teeming with Patagonian flora and fauna.
Once back at the port, the adventure continues with a two-hour visit to the glacier’s walkways. These elevated paths provide unparalleled panoramic views of the glacier’s towering ice walls and its dramatic, ever-changing landscape. After soaking in these unforgettable views, you’ll return to El Calafate, carrying with you the memories of an extraordinary day spent in one of the most iconic corners of Patagonia.
