Descripción del Tour:

Your adventure kicks off with an early morning pickup from your hotel. Once we reach the Port of Punta Bandera, we will board the Cruz del Sur vessel to embark on a journey through the Canal de los Témpanos del Lago Argentino.

This experience includes three landings, but we'll also pause at some noteworthy spots along the way for guided explanations and, of course, photo opportunities. Our first stop, without disembarking, will be in front of “Punta Bandera”, a historic location where Francisco Pascasio Moreno conducted the baptism of Lake Argentino.
Our first landing will be at Bahía Toro. Guided by our expert, we will trek through the Patagonian Andean forest to reach a stunning waterfall. From the lake's shore, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the hanging glaciers on Cerro Mayo and Cerro Negro. After this excursion, we will return to the boat to sail for 15 minutes to our next stop.
Our second landing is at Cerro Negro. Accompanied by your guide, we'll venture into the Patagonian Andean forest, following a river to the base of Cerro Negro. Here, you can marvel at the impressive Black Glacier, a hanging glacier that feeds numerous waterfalls. We'll take in the scenery before heading back to the boat.
We will continue navigating through the Canal de los Témpanos from the Seno Mayo of Lake Argentino. At the channel's end, the north wall of the Perito Moreno glacier will come into view. We'll disembark at Puerto Perito Moreno and stroll to the walkways facing the glacier. Here, you'll have free time to admire the glacier from various viewpoints. Finally, we'll return to Puerto Perito Moreno and board the vessel back to the Port of Punta Bandera.
At the time designated by the guide, we will head back to Puerto Perito Moreno to re-board and return to our original departure point, the Punta Bandera Port.
