View on Google MapsWell organized tour and the guides were excellent. Recommended for families. Once in a lifetime experience.
It was an awesome experience! I was scared at first coz crampons was a bit heavy but eventually I started getting comfortable to it. The view is magnificent. Highly recommend!
The Perito Moreno glacier hike with our guide Fernando (Chule) from Hielo & Aventura was one of the best hikes we ever did in the recent years. We asked for an english speaking guide while booking and we got one as asked. We started form the EL Calafate city center near their office on time and reached the port and glacier on a smooth bus, and boat ride. We had two guides in the bus explaining what to expect during the bus and boat ride and at the glaciers. They both were very friendly, caring and spoke good english during the bus and boat rides. The guide explained to us about the glacier and its significance. He took us to various view points before starting the hike. He gave us enough time to photograph and enjoy the views. He was very helpful to guide us through our first time experience with crampon on ice. We thoroughly enjoyed the hike with Fernando (Chule).

Impecably organized by Hielo&Aventura, they picked us up from the hotel, took us to the port where we boarded a boat to the base camp of the Perito Moreno. From there we walked the beach to the base of the glacier, put on helmets and “grampones” and expert guides led us in a three hour trekking of the glacier were we learned about the glacier and appreciated the different formations. Amazingly professional and super friendly guides throughout the whole experience.
I booked the tour through Brasileiros in Ushuaia/Calafate, the operator was Hielo&Aventura. The guides don't speak Portuguese, but you can understand them well. The organization is impeccable, and the tour is simply unmissable! The tour includes a walk along the walkways and then across the glacier, an unforgettable experience. The walk has a medium level of difficulty: moving around with the crampons requires balance and going down the slippery ice is scary. There are handrails in a few short sections, and there are not always steps - often just a very narrow ramp carved into the ice. The support team is very well prepared and provides a lot of security.
