Itinerary
Imagine going to Patagonia and experiencing that surreal feeling that you are truly at the end of the world, surrounded by large icebergs and glaciers. It’s truly a phenomenal experience!
Not to mention visiting the Glaciers National Park, considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a boat tour of one of the largest and most beautiful lakes in Latin America, is almost mandatory for anyone visiting the beautiful city of El Calafate.
We depart for Punta Bandera Port, 47km from El Calafate city, where upon arrival, we welcome you to our cozy boarding terminal, along with part of our team who will guide you through the pre-boarding process. If you do not have the national park entrance ticket by this point, we will inform you where to purchase it.
Once on board our comfortable boats, where we are all ready to provide you with the best service, we begin the navigation through the North Arm of Lake Argentino, crossing the Devil’s Mouth, towards the Upsala Channel to experience the unique sensation of sailing among icebergs that break off from the Upsala Glacier. A wonderful experience indeed.
Next, we will sail towards the Spegazzini Channel, which will offer unique views of some beautiful hanging glaciers, such as Seco, Heim Sur, and Peineta, which are the prelude to the greatest spectacle: the Spegazzini Glacier. The largest of them all, awaits you to offer an imposing view.
And to crown this moment, you will disembark at our exclusive Spegazzini Base, right in front of the glacier, to enjoy our great refuge that provides all the services you need during your stay and allows you to live truly unique moments with its breathtaking panoramic views.
The Captain’s Club Lounge has privileged views of the Spegazzini Glacier and the Heim Glacier. Passengers who want to take their experience to another level during our navigation can hire the optional Captain’s Club service. With a preferential location and exclusive attention from the hosts throughout the tour. It includes lunch (appetizer, main course, and dessert) and an open bar for drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and coffee.
