Descripción del Tour:

Your adventure kicks off with an early morning hotel pickup. Upon reaching the Port of Punta Bandera, you'll be warmly welcomed aboard the Cruz del Sur boat, ready to embark on a journey through the Canal de los Témpanos del Lago Argentino.

Although this tour features three landings, along the way, we'll pause at key spots for insightful explanations from our guide and, naturally, to capture stunning photographs. Our first stop, without disembarking, will be opposite “Punta Bandera,” a historical landmark where Francisco Pascasio Moreno conducted the baptism of Lake Argentino.
Our first landing takes place at Bahía Toro. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, we'll trek through the Patagonian Andean forest until we reach a mesmerizing waterfall. From the lake's shore, you'll witness breathtaking views of the hanging glaciers of Cerro Mayo and Cerro Negro. After this invigorating walk, we'll return to the boat and sail for 15 minutes to our next destination.
At Cerro Negro, our second landing, we will venture into the Patagonian Andean forest with our guide. Following a river, we'll arrive near the base of Cerro Negro, where the awe-inspiring Black Glacier awaits, with its numerous cascading waterfalls. We'll take in the stunning scenery before making our way back to the boat.
We'll continue our journey through the Canal de los Témpanos from the Seno Mayo of Lake Argentino. As the channel concludes, we'll be greeted by the north wall of the Perito Moreno glacier. We'll disembark at Puerto Perito Moreno and stroll towards the walkways overlooking the glacier, where you'll have free time to admire the glacier from various balconies. Eventually, we'll return to Puerto Perito Moreno and sail back to the Port of Punta Bandera.
Following the guide's schedule, we'll head back to Puerto Perito Moreno to re-board and make our way back to our starting point, the Punta Bandera Port.
