Cordillera Blanca Traverse (CBT)

The significant Andean high-route. The Cordillera Blanca Traverse (CBT) is a 400km long-distance epic that navigates the sheer walls and glacial valleys of the world's highest tropical mountain range. Conceceived as a continuous high-route, it crosses over 20 passes above 4,400m, reaching a maximum altitude of 5,200m. This is not just a hike; it is a high-altitude odyssey that links famous sectors like Santa Cruz and Alpamayo with completely unknown, pristine glacial valleys. Trekkers move through a landscape of more than 700 glaciers and 300 emerald lakes, constantly shadowed by 6,000m giants like Huascarán and Artesonraju (the 'Paramount Pictures' mountain).

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.
