Itinerary and highlights
Upsala Glacier Viewpoint – Lake Argentino, El Calafate
Begin the navigation along the North Arm of Lake Argentino to admire panoramic views of the Upsala Glacier and its massive icebergs floating in the surrounding waters. Although the glacier front is now distant due to natural retreat, the sight of the huge ice floes offers a spectacular first glimpse of the Patagonian ice field.
Duration: 1 hour – Admission included
Spegazzini Channel and Glacier – Los Glaciares National Park
Continue sailing through the Spegazzini Channel, surrounded by steep cliffs and waterfalls, until reaching the imposing Spegazzini Glacier, the tallest in Los Glaciares National Park (approximately 135 m high). The ship approaches the glacier’s wall for an unforgettable close-up view of its deep blue hues and cracking ice.
Duration: 2 hours – Admission included
Icebergs Channel & Perito Moreno Glacier (North Face) – Los Glaciares National Park
Sail through the Icebergs Channel (Canal de los Témpanos) surrounded by floating icebergs and turquoise waters, on the way to the north face of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
Admire one of the most famous glaciers in the world, known for its impressive stability and the constant calving of ice blocks that crash into the lake. The ship slows down near the glacier front, allowing time for photos and a full appreciation of its grandeur.
Duration: 2 hours – Admission included
Disembarkation at Puerto Moreno followed by a transfer to the walkways, where you’ll enjoy 1 hour and 30 minutes exploring the different balconies and trails overlooking the Perito Moreno Glacier.
