During the first 50 kms, the direction follows across the Patagonian steppe. At the entrance to the National Park there is a drastic change in the vegetation which is rich in the special types of trees found in the Patagonian Andes: especially ñires, lengas and cherry trees, among others. The glacier is an impressive river of ice with a surface of 257 square Kms.,a length of 30 kms. and a width of four kms. The height of the front wall ranges between 50 and 60 meters above the level of the lake. In the central part of the glacier, the ice has a depth of between 250 and 350 meters. This frozen river descends from the continental ice field and causes in its slow progress landslides and explosions that make the glacier a wonder in constant motion. It is a show that impresses not only by its visual beauty, but also by the constant roar you hear from inside it, which has caused it to be declared a World Heritage Site.
During the tour a walk along the paths on the front of the glacier allow a view of this impressive natural marvel from a different perspective. At the end of the tour, begin the return to Calafate to arrive at the hotel.
