The Minitrekking on the Perito Moreno Glacier is considered low in both physical and technical difficulty.

Participants walk for approximately 1.5 hours on the glacier using crampons, guided by expert staff who assist with equipment and safety at all times. The pace is moderate, and no prior trekking experience is required.
