Itinerary and highlights
Around 07:30 in the morning, your guide will pick you up from your hotel in El Calafate and you will head towards the Port la Soledad.
Later we will be transfer to the pier to board your luxury cruise through Los Glaciares National Park.
The Cruise offers the best Full Day alternative for those travelers who want to visit the Spegazzini and Upsala Glaciers or the Perito Moreno Glacier in an intimate way.
With “Glaciers Gourmet Experience“ we offer the possibility to navigate through Lago Argentino in the search for the “Spirit of Glaciers”. Walls of more than 50 meters (164 feet) high, deep blue millennial ice and stunning icebergs are the perfect setting for enjoying nature at its glory.
We will navigate at Lago Argentino towards Punta Avellaneda and Boca del Diablo. Then we will reach the Canal Spegazzini in order to see the glacier that bears the same name. The navigation allows us to get closer to the glacier which has front walls between 80 and 135 meters (262 – 443 feet) above lake level.
The Cruise will arrive at Puesto de Las Vacas (an extremely quiet bay in the Canal Spegazzini) where its engines will be stopped to let passengers share an amusing walk coordinated by our team of guides. In this stop it is possible to see stunning panoramic views of the Spegazzini glacier.
The navigation continues towards the Herminita Peninsula. The series of ice floes, of the most varied colors and shapes, anticipates the proximity of Upsala glacier. We will stop in front of the barrier of ice floes which at present is blocking the entrance to Canal Upsala. If the weather conditions are good we will observe the Upsala glaciers at the distance.
A gourmet lunch is served during navigation (choose one option between a gourmet lunch box or a premium lunch).
We continue navigating to Canal de los Tempano to finally reach the Perito Moreno Glacier, constantly advancing and causing the spectacular rupture of the wall of ice, providing one of Nature’s most impressive sights.
At 5 PM you will return to the pier and start the way back to El Calafate, where you will be taken to your hotel.
