Stay Tour With Lunch And Glacier Sailing

The adventure kicks off with a pick-up from centrally located hotels in El Calafate. During the trip to Los Glaciares National Park, a bilingual guide will provide insights into the region's flora, fauna, and history.

The journey follows the historic Route 15, once known as the "Estancias Road", passing through classic Patagonian landscapes while narrating stories of native peoples, pioneers, and early settlers.

The first destination is the renowned Estancia Nibepo Aike, where you can explore the historic shearing shed, now transformed into a family museum. Here, you'll savor a genuine Patagonian lamb barbecue in the estancia's barbecue area, complete with a salad bar, dessert, and beverages. A vegetarian option is available upon request.

Following lunch, the journey continues to the South Glacier Pier to embark on a cruise through the South Arm and Rico Arm of Lake Argentino.

During the excursion, you'll disembark at Playa de las Monedas, a location only accessible by boat. From here, a gentle 40-minute walk through the native forest leads to the Mirador de las Rocas viewpoint, offering a stunning view of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Those opting out of the hike can remain on the boat and arrive at the viewpoint by sea.

Once back on board, you'll sail past the majestic southern face of the Perito Moreno Glacier, with the chance to witness ice calving and observe the glacier's progression towards the Magellan Peninsula, a global phenomenon known for its dramatic rupture.

The excursion concludes with a landing at Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, where you'll access the Perito Moreno Glacier walkways. Strolling along these paths offers varied perspectives of the glacier, showcasing one of Argentine Patagonia's most iconic scenes.

After more than an hour exploring the panoramic balconies, the journey back to El Calafate begins as the sun sets.
