Details

What makes this experience so special?

Begin your adventure with a gentle walk through the lush Bahía Toro forest, a green sanctuary where towering lenga and ñire trees create a magical canopy. As you breathe in the crisp Patagonian air, your bilingual guide will unveil the hidden secrets of the Andean-Patagonian forest—from curious birds darting between branches to legends that locals have passed down for generations. It’s the perfect way to ease into the day while feeling a true connection with nature.

Afterward, return to the boat and recharge with a comforting cup of hot coffee as you glide across the turquoise waters of Lake Argentino. The second stage takes you on a scenic trail alongside crystal-clear streams and cascading waterfalls, leading to the very foot of the Cerro Negro. Standing so close, you’ll feel the raw energy of Patagonia’s ice, a reminder of the power and beauty that has shaped this land for millennia.

And then, the grand finale: a navigation that brings you face-to-face with the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier. Rising 60 meters above the lake, this giant of ice is alive—it groans, creaks, and rumbles as if telling its own ancient story. If fortune is on your side, you’ll witness a dramatic icefall, when massive blocks break free and crash into the waters below with thunderous force. It’s a spectacle few experiences on Earth can rival.

On arrival at the floating dock, you step off the boat to do the walkways. There, your guide will arrange with you the departing time to cruise back to Punta Bandera.

The Mayo Spirit Trek is more than a tour—it’s a connection with nature, a chance to witness glaciers in motion, and an adventure you’ll carry in your memory forever.

Are you ready to awaken your adventurous side and stand face-to-face with the marvelous Perito Moreno Glacier?

Some fun facts you'll learn to take back home: 

  • The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the few glaciers in the world that is still advancing instead of retreating.
  • Some of the lenga beech trees in the area are centuries old—locals even call one massive specimen “The Grandfather Tree.”
  • The sound of ice breaking (called “calving”) is so powerful that it can be heard kilometers away.
  • Pro tip

    Dress in layers (Patagonian weather changes quicly - sunshine, wind and rain can all happen in one day), pack your camera and get ready for surprises - because in Patagonia, the glaciers might just put on a show for you!
