Descripción del Tour:

The adventure kicks off from our centrally located hotel in Calafate at 7:30 am. As we board the bus, we'll embark on a 50-kilometer journey through a picturesque route dotted with ranches. Throughout the trip, our guide will share fascinating insights into the history and functions of these sites.
After a 45-minute drive, we'll reach Lake Roca, where we'll board a small boat accommodating up to 17 people. This 45-minute cruise offers breathtaking views of the typical Patagonian steppe, beautifully contrasted with the Lengas forests.
Upon reaching the southern shore of the lake's South Arm, the first phase of the trekking adventure begins: We will head towards Lake Frías, traversing a scarcely explored area where virgin forests and pristine landscapes unfold before us. Upon arrival at the lake, we'll board a small motor boat (zodiac) to cross it, initiating the second and most crucial part of the trek: the journey towards the Glacier Grande, situated at the southern tip of the national park.
After a 2-hour hike, we will arrive at a remarkable location, a valley encircled by glaciers, aptly named the "Glacier Amphitheater."
Here at the amphitheater, we'll pause to rest and enjoy lunch, surrounded by the stunning vistas of the Grande, Cubo, and Dickson glaciers.
Following lunch, we'll retrace our steps along the same trail.
On the bus ride back to the center of El Calafate, we'll enjoy a snack featuring Mate, a traditional Argentine beverage similar to tea.
