This full-day boat expedition departs from Puerto Bandera and navigates across Lake Argentino to some of Patagonia’s most impressive glaciers.

Guests will be welcomed to Estancia 25 de Mayo, a historic Patagonian ranch just outside El Calafate. The experience begins with a short guided tour of the main house and surrounding grounds, followed by a traditional dinner featuring regional specialties such as Patagonian lamb cooked over open flame. This authentic rural evening includes cultural insights, warm hospitality, and meal served in a cozy, rustic dining room. Transfers to and from the estancia are included.
