Tour Description
Day 1: Arrival in El Calafate
Upon arriving at El Calafate airport or bus terminal, you will be greeted and transferred to your hotel.
The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure.
Day 2: Mini Hike on the Perito Moreno Glacier (Mini trekking is available from early August to early June)
Los Glaciares National Park
After breakfast at your hotel, your private guide will escort you to the embarkation pier at "Bajo de las Sombras" port, located about 6 km before the glacier balconies, where you'll embark on a 20-minute navigation across Brazo Rico with breathtaking views of the Perito Moreno glacier’s front wall.
Disembark on the opposite shore where specialized bilingual mountain guides will greet you and lead you to a small shelter. After final preparations, you will proceed along the lake’s shore to the glacier's edge.
Once on the ice, the guide will equip each participant with crampons and provide instructions for their use. The two-hour circuit introduces you to the mesmerizing landscape of the glacier: streams, small lagoons, gullies, crevasses, and stunning ice formations in incredible blues.
The ice surface is irregular but firm and safe.
You will receive insights into the region’s flora, fauna, and general glaciology, as well as the unique phenomenon that leads to the rupture of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
After the trek, a walk through the forest returns you to the shelter. Your guide will then take you back to your hotel.
Free night
Day 3: Gourmet Cruise and Glacier Navigation
Los Glaciares National Park
After breakfast at your hotel, your guide will pick you up for a trip to the company’s private dock “La Soledad” (Bahía Tranquila, Paraje Punta Bandera). Boarding is at 9:00 a.m.
The navigation heads northwest, crossing Punta Avellaneda and Boca del Diablo, the lake’s narrowest passage at nearly 800 meters wide.
After two hours of navigation, the array of ice floes in varying colors and shapes comes into view. We will pause in front of the ice floe barrier currently blocking the entrance to Canal Upsala. If weather permits, we will observe the Upsala glaciers from a distance.
We continue navigating Lago Argentino southward, entering the Canal Spegazzini to approach the glacier bearing the same name. The navigation will bring us close to the glacier, with front walls rising between 80 and 135 meters (262 – 443 feet) above lake level.
Gourmet Lunch will be served amidst this breathtaking scenery.
In the afternoon, the cruise will dock at Puesto de Las Vacas (a serene bay in the Canal Spegazzini) where engines are stopped to allow for an enjoyable walk coordinated by our guides. This stop offers spectacular panoramic views of the Spegazzini glacier.
Upon returning onboard, we will head back through Brazo Norte to the La Soledad dock by 6:00 p.m., where your guide will escort you back to your hotel after an unforgettable day.
Free night.
Day 4: Farewell to El Calafate
