What you can expect

Starting at 7 am, we will pick you up from your hotel and travel in a comfortable bus to Puerto de Punta Bandera, located 47 km from El Calafate.

Once we've arrived, we'll begin an incredible boat ride sd we navigate the Northern Arm of Lake Argentino. We'll pass through the Devil's Mouth towards the Upsala Channel, sailing amidst massive icebergs that break off from the front of the Upsala Glacier.

Next, we enter the Spegazzini Channel, where we are greeted with the first view of the Seco Glacier. We continue sailing towards the front of the Spegazzini Glacier, where we can also admire the Heim Sur and Peineta glaciers.

During the cruise, our captain will make stops for us to observe the ice blocks from every angle and capture the best photos.

Our disembarkation point is the Spegazzini Base, where we begin the visit by walking along a forest trail to the Spegazzini Refuge. This accessible 300-meter trail leads us to stations and viewpoints offering stunning views of the Bay of Glaciers. Along the walk, we will visit different stations (Glaciology - History - Fauna and Flora) and have access to viewpoints.

Once at the Refuge, visitors can enjoy the gastronomy, shop, and incredible panoramic views from the indoor salons and outdoor decks and terraces. There will be time to have your own packed lunch or purchase food.

Upon returning to the boat, we will continue with the second part of the navigation and around 16:00 we will be back in El Calafate.
