Take an unforgettable glacier cruise on the Argentinian Lake, where you'll see the most spectacular glaciers in Patagonia up close.
Patagonia Glacier Cruise + Lunch
The tour leaves from La Soledad port in the morning, starting with a cruise to view the glaciers of Argentinian Lake.
The yacht will visit key locations in the Glaciers National Park, beginning with the "Dry Glacier", which is shrinking and features vegetation among the ice.
The cruise continues to the Heim and Spegazzini Glaciers, notable for their impressive vertical walls, standing at 135 metres tall.
Next, we will disembark at Puesto de Las Vacas for a 40-minute hike, during which your guide will share the region's history amidst the striking Patagonian landscape.
After the hike, we approach the Upsala Glacier, measuring 870 square kilometres, making it the third-largest glacier in the Southern Hemisphere. From the boat, witness its vast ice expanse, used by armed forces in Antarctica.
After experiencing the glacier, enjoy a lunch on board before navigating the Canal de los Témpanos to the north of the Perito Moreno glacier, concluding this captivating excursion. We will disembark back at La Soledad port around 5 pm, and provide transportation back to your hotel, depending on your reservation.
Pickup & Transfers
For those choosing the pickup option, we will collect you from your hotel in El Calafate at the scheduled time and return you post-excursion. Otherwise, we will meet at the port of La Soledad.
