About this activity

Navigation Gourmet Glaciers – An unforgettable journey through Lake Argentina

The experience begins at 9:00 AM from the exclusive Puerto La Soledad, 47 km from El Calafate. We sail along the North Channel between floating icebergs to the Uppsala Canal, where views of Uppsala Glacier are appreciated from a safe distance. We continue to the Spegazzini Canal, surrounded by hanging glaciers such as the Dry, South Heim and Peinetta.

We disembark in Posto de Las Vacas for a 30-minute interpretive walk between Patagonian forests and glacial beaches. Back on board, lunch is served as we sail to Spegazzini Glacier, the highest in the park. Finally, those who wish can disembark on the walkways of the Perito Moreno Glacier to walk them for 11⁄2 hours.

Estimated return to El Calafate at 18:00 hs. An experience of nature, comfort and breathtaking views in the heart of Los Glaciares National Park.
