Trekking
on the Perito Moreno glacier
As sailing near the glacier offers
an unique visual perspective, to experience
walking on Perito Moreno glacier (minitrekking)
is outstanding. Once the Rico branch is
crossed, the walk through the woods starts,
at the end of the way, crampons are given
to be put on. Once this task is complete,
small groups escorted by specialized guides
start a walk of around two hours among great
ice peaks, towers, turquoise blue cracks
and small lagoons. It is an easy walk, recommended
for ages between 10 to 60 years old. It
is also important to take sport shoes, if
possible trekking shoes, thick socks, long
trousers, jacket, sweater, sun glasses,
sun block, gloves and hat

Bosque Petrificado La

A
whole day outing on the patagonian steppe.
A tour organized having in mind all of
us that like to walk the wild open outdoors
of Patagonia, exploring a palaeontological
site packed full of large petrified tree
trunks over 1.2 meters in diameter and
heaps of fragments of dinosaur bones as
well as big whole dino pieces. Departing
East from El Calafate, we turn left at
"highway" 40 and drive North.
We travel mostly trough open steppe with
magnificent views of the lake Argentino,
cross mighty Santa Cruz river, coast along
the valley of La Leona river and panoramic
sight of the Southern Andes and mount
Fitz Roy. Near the top stars a large depression
formed by water erosion where most of
the fossils can be found. There is where
our walk stars: we go down trough steep
inclines of loose, dry, claylike soil
and explore a seemingly endless system
of gorges and ravines almost saturated
with petrified wood that "sprouts"
from the soil. We get to see tree trunks
in diameter that range from 0.5 to 1.2
meters, heaps of fossilized broken bones
and occasionally whole leg bones of large
reptiles (still in the process of identification).
Every day departs al 08:30 AM , returns
al 5:00 PM.
