The excursion kicks off from our centrally located hotel in Calafate at 7:30 am. Once aboard the bus, we will journey 50 kilometers through a route dotted with ranches. Along the way, our guide will share the history and functions of these locations.
After a 45-minute drive, we reach Lake Roca, where we board a small boat accommodating up to 17 passengers. The 45-minute sail offers breathtaking views of the iconic Patagonian steppe, interspersed with Lengas forests.

Our path leads us to Lake Frías, through an almost untouched area where pristine forests and natural landscapes unfold before us. At the lake, we will board a small motorboat (zodiac) to cross and initiate the second and most significant trekking section: the journey to Glacier Large, situated at the southern edge of the national park.
