What you'll see and do
El Calafate
This unmissable experience begins at the “Bajo de las shadows” port, where we embark on a navigation of around 15 minutes to cross Brazo Rico. We got very close to the Glacier and at that moment we had a fantastic perception of how big it was.

Perito Moreno Glacier
Once on the glacier and with the crampons in place, the world takes on a new perspective: blue lagoons, deep cracks, huge sinkholes, magical caves. During the walk, the guides explain the flora and fauna and the general glaciology of the region, explaining the specific phenomenon of ruptures of the Perito Moreno Glacier.

Perito Moreno Glacier
We sit on the glacier to rest and we will have time to enjoy and take beautiful photos, and if you wish, have a snack (not included). A fantastic experience to be there, sitting on the glacier surrounded by mountains.

Perito Moreno Glacier
With our energy restored, we continued walking until we returned to the starting point, where we removed our crampons and went down to the port. We returned to the boat satisfied and with this new adventure to tell.

Pasarelas Perito Moreno
We then passed through the walkways to observe the Perito Moreno Glacier from the front. We see the beautiful shade of blue of this immense glacier and we take the opportunity to photograph it from a wider angle of view, observing how it rises from the lake to the top of the mountains, to return to “civilization”, after having enjoyed one of the most spectacular ice treks in the world.

Why this scores 38
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hike on the Perito Moreno Glacier - Minitrekking: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for El Calafate.
How much does Hike on the Perito Moreno Glacier - Minitrekking cost?
+
Prices start at $4070 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in El Calafate usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hike on the Perito Moreno Glacier - Minitrekking take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in El Calafate is not rushed.
Is Hike on the Perito Moreno Glacier - Minitrekking worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 38 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in El Calafate, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hike on the Perito Moreno Glacier - Minitrekking?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Hike on the Perito Moreno Glacier - Minitrekking suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 14. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hike on the Perito Moreno Glacier - Minitrekking?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in El Calafate can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in El Calafate and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hike on the Perito Moreno Glacier - Minitrekking start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central El Calafate within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in El Calafate?
+
On Outty we rank every El Calafate experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Perito Moreno Glacier Full Day Tour with Optional Boat Safari, Kayak Full-Day Activity in La Leona River from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier with Navigation from El Calafate. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit El Calafate?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in El Calafate?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
