Desert Lake Excursion + Vespignani Glacier Trek

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

After a three-hour drive, we arrive in El Chaltén. We will continue along an impressive panoramic road through forests to reach the Desert Lake. Here, a half-hour boat trip allows for close views of the Huemul and Creston glaciers.

Disembarking at the foot of the Vespignani glacier, we enter the nature reserve to begin a trekking route. The duration of the hike varies based on trail difficulty, ranging from 15 to 45 minutes.

After taking in the Patagonian landscape and views of the north face of Mount Fitz Roy, we will have lunch. We then return by boat to the bus for the journey back to El Calafate.

This 14-hour excursion concludes with a drop-off at your hotel.
