Morado Hanging Glacier Day Trip from Santiago
Overview of the tour in Santiago
AVAILABLE - October to May.
This spectacular glacier is located at an altitude of 3,260m (10,700ft) in the Andes Mountain Range. The access is through Cajón del Maipo, the most popular mountain corridors of the central zone of Chile.
After two hours driving through imposing gorges and ravines, we’ll reach Las Arenas Valley, where we could find fossils among a big rockery, and condors in the sky. We will stop near a bouldering area called “Choriboulder”, a wonderful place to start our hike and ascent to the glacier.
Less than three hours hiking up the river through the valley, and after climbing a moraine, we will reach our destination. The prize: absolute amazement by the glacier that hangs from El Morado Mountain and melts into a sedimented lagoon with icebergs in an enclosed valley tucked deep between mountains.
We invite you to an intimate contact with Andean nature. Here you will contemplate pristine rivers, snow capped mountains and deep blue skies. You will breath fresh air and feel blessed by the energy of the great Morado Hanging Glacier.
