Lake Frías Hike & Glacier Boat Trip

See one of the world's most breathtaking and striking landscapes with your own eyes on our Lake Frías Hike & Glacier Boat Trip. You'll cross lenga beech forests and glacial valleys as well as sailing through the Los Glaciares National Park.

Description

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in El Calafate and take you to the Los Glaciares National Park, a key natural area in Argentine Patagonia.

First, we'll stop at the Los Pioneros harbour for a 1-hour boat trip. The crossing will take us through a scenic part of Lake Argentino. We'll disembark at the shore of the South Arm to begin our first hike.

This hike spans 1.2 miles (2 km) and concludes at the shores of Lake Frías. From there, we'll take a Zodiac boat across the water. Upon landing, we'll embark on another hike covering 2.8 miles (4.5 km) through an ancient forest of lenga beech trees and a glacial valley.

Next, we'll reach the Lake Frías Superior area, known for its icebergs, offering panoramic views of the Dickson, Cubo, and Grande glaciers.

We'll pause for a picnic lunch featuring sandwiches, a cereal bar, dried fruits, alfajor, sweets, fruit, mineral water, and orange juice.

After lunch, we'll return to the starting point by boat and the initial hiking route. Finally, we'll return to your hotel in El Calafate, completing a 12-hour tour.
