Beginning from the heart of El Calafate's central hotels, our tour sets off at your preferred time. You'll be whisked away in a rugged 4x4 vehicle to a breathtaking vantage point situated atop a hill. The scenic expanse from this location never fails to stun all who visit.

From this spot, you'll gain a 360° perspective of the natural beauty that surrounds you. Capture the awe-inspiring views of El Calafate and Lake Argentino on your camera. As the largest lake in Argentina, it's a sight you don't want to miss.  

This excursion covers a thrilling 35 km journey across the hills that form a backdrop to the town. Accompanied by our knowledgeable guide, you'll learn intriguing details about the unique Patagonian landscapes that envelop you.

Depending on the time of year and weather conditions, you may be able to witness the accumulation of glaciers on Lake Argentino, and the towering peaks of the Patagonian Ice Field, including Cerro Fitz Roy and La Torre in El Chalten.
