Stay Tour With Lunch And Glacier Sailing

The adventure kicks off with a pick-up from centrally located hotels in El Calafate. As we head to Los Glaciares National Park, our bilingual guide shares insights about the region's unique flora, fauna, and rich history.

The journey takes us along the historic Route 15, also known as the "Estancias Road", where you'll witness stunning Patagonian vistas and hear tales of native communities, pioneers, and early settlers.

Our first stop is at the renowned Estancia Nibepo Aike, where a visit to the historic shearing shed, now a museum, awaits. Here, indulge in a traditional Patagonian lamb barbecue in the estancia's barbecue area, complemented by a salad bar, dessert, and drinks. A vegetarian option is available upon request.

After savoring lunch, we proceed to the South Glacier Pier to embark on a cruise through the South Arm and Rico Arm of Lake Argentino.

During the cruise, you'll disembark at Playa de las Monedas, a location only accessible by boat. From here, enjoy a leisurely 40-minute walk through the native forest leading to the Mirador de las Rocas viewpoint, offering breathtaking views of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Those who choose not to hike can stay on board and reach the viewpoint by boat.

Once back on the vessel, you will cruise past the majestic southern face of the Perito Moreno Glacier, with opportunities to witness ice calving and observe the glacier's advance towards the Magellan Peninsula, a globally renowned phenomenon for its dramatic ruptures.

The journey concludes as the boat docks at Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, where you'll access the Perito Moreno Glacier walkways. These walkways provide diverse angles to admire one of Argentine Patagonia's most iconic landscapes.

After more than an hour exploring the panoramic balconies, we begin our return to El Calafate as the sun sets.
