Perito Moreno Glacier Trail

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.

The Wonderland Trail is exactly what its name implies: a grueling, spectacular, 93-mile (150km) circumnavigation of Mount Rainier, the most glaciated peak in the contiguous United States. This premier backpacking route is notoriously difficult, rarely offering a flat section of trail. Hikers are either painfully ascending a massive, forested ridge or steeply descending into a deep, glacier-carved river valley, only to repeat the process the very next day. The trail passes through towering old-growth rainforests, crosses roaring and milky glacial rivers via demanding suspension bridges or log jams, and traverses stunning, high-alpine wildflower meadows like Summerland and Panhandle Gap where the mountain's massive ice fields feel close enough to touch.
