Perito Moreno: choose the format
The walkways and the ice-trek programs offer different effort levels and booking needs. Big Ice is a demanding full-day choice when transfers are included. [6]
Patagonia glaciers: land, ice or water?
Choose Perito Moreno walkways for a land-based visit, a booked guided ice trek for time on the glacier, or a separate navigation or kayak experience in Chile.
