The Three Calanques — Port-Miou to En-Vau

Widely considered the most iconic hike in the Parc National des Calanques, this 9.5km route links the ports of Cassis and Marseille via a series of dramatic limestone inlets. The trail begins at the boat-filled Port-Miou marina, traverses the white limestone plateau, and passes the pebble beach of Port-Pin. The culmination of the route is the descent into the Calanque d’En-Vau, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful natural harbors in Europe, featuring vertical white cliffs and turquoise waters. The route combines accessible coastal pathways with steep, technically challenging descents on polished rock. Note: Compiled from public sources — not a field report.

Guided glacier trekking on the Perito Moreno Glacier is a specialized activity within Los Glaciares National Park. The glacier, covering approximately 250 square kilometers, is one of the few advancing ice masses in the Patagonian Andes. Access to the ice surface is strictly regulated and conducted via two primary excursion formats: the 'Minitrekking' (introductory) and the 'Big Ice' (extended exploration). Participants navigate a dynamic landscape of crevasses, moulins, and ice ridges using technical equipment under professional supervision. The experience provides a direct perspective on glacial movement and the hydrological processes of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
