Desert Lake Excursion + Vespignani Glacier Trek

The tour begins with a hotel pickup in El Calafate at the scheduled time, followed by a bus excursion to El Chaltén. A stop will be made for a break next to the La Leona River.

After a three-hour journey, we arrive in El Chaltén and continue along an impressive panoramic road through forests to the Desert Lake. Here, a half-hour boat trip allows observation of the Huemul and Creston glaciers up close.

Upon disembarking at the foot of the Vespignani glacier, we will begin a trekking route in a nature reserve. The trek duration is between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the difficulty of the chosen trail.

After enjoying the Patagonian landscape and views of the north face of Mount Fitz Roy, a lunch break will be provided. We then return by boat to the bus for the trip back to El Calafate.

The excursion lasts approximately 14 hours, concluding with your return to the hotel.
