Descripción del Tour:
Begin your day with a morning pick-up from your El Calafate hotel at 07:30, embarking on a journey to the serene Puerto La Soledad located in the tranquil Punta Bandera region.
An hour-long scenic bus ride will bring you to your destination where you'll board a state-of-the-art catamaran at 09:00.
Set sail northwest, passing landmarks such as Punta Avellaneda and Boca del Diablo, the narrowest part of the lake, stretching just 800 meters wide. The appearance of icebergs in an array of colors and shapes signals your approach to the majestic Uppsala Glacier. Weather permitting, we'll pause to admire the glacier's beauty from afar before proceeding to the Uppsala Channel.
We then journey south across the Argentine Lake, entering the Spegazzini Channel to reach the Spegazzini Glacier. This glacier boasts towering walls ranging from 80 to 135 meters above the lake, making it the tallest in the National Park.
Our cruise ship features four outdoor decks, offering panoramic views from every angle.
After taking in the breathtaking glacier views, enjoy a gourmet meal served on board as you marvel at the surrounding landscape.
In the afternoon, the ship docks at a serene bay within the Spegazzini Channel. Here, our engines fall silent, allowing passengers to disembark for a leisurely trek guided by our expert team. Spend an hour exploring the Patagonian forest and former farmlands, leading to stunning vantage points for capturing photos of the Spegazzini Glacier from unique perspectives.
The final leg of our journey takes us to the Perito Moreno Glacier, offering a privileged view of the north wall of this still-expanding ice behemoth.
As the day ends, we'll return to the La Soledad Private Port at 5:00 p.m. From here, we'll arrange transportation back to your El Calafate hotel.
