Boat Trip Details

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in El Calafate and take you to Los Glaciares National Park. We will stop at the Los Pioneros harbour for a 1-hour boat trip across Lake Argentino, navigating between glaciers. The journey will conclude at the shore of the South Arm, where we will begin our first hiking route.

The initial hike distances 1.2 miles (2 km) and will take us to the shores of Lake Frías. We will then board a Zodiac boat to cross the lake. Once on the opposite shore, we will embark on a second hike of 2.8 miles (4.5 km) through a forest of hundred-year-old lenga beech trees and a glacial valley.

Next, we'll arrive at the Lake Frías Superior area, known for its icebergs, where we will enjoy views of the Dickson, Cubo, and Grande glaciers.

During a break, a picnic lunch featuring sandwiches, a cereal bar, dried fruits, an alfajor, sweets, fruit, mineral water, and orange juice will be provided.

After lunch, we will return to the starting point by boat and by retracing our first hiking route. We will return to your hotel in El Calafate after approximately 12 hours.
