Buenos Aires And Calafate Essentials

Following breakfast, we will pick you up from your hotel and head to Puerto Punta Bandera, 47km from El Calafate, to start the excursion.

Once at the port, we board our comfortable vessels. The journey begins by sailing through the North Arm of Lake Argentino, crossing the Boca del Diablo, and proceeding to the Upsala Channel to experience the thrill of navigating among large icebergs from the Upsala Glacier.

We then sail towards the Spegazzini Canal, offering spectacular views of hanging glaciers such as the Dry Glacier, Heim Glacier Sur, and Peineta Glacier, leading up to the main attraction: the awe-inspiring Spegazzini Glacier. This massive glacier provides a stunning sight with its height exceeding 135 meters.

To enhance the experience, we will disembark at Base Spegazzini in front of the Glacier to enjoy the modern Refugio Spegazzini, equipped with all necessary services and offering unparalleled panoramic views. You can also opt to try delicious regional dishes suitable for all tastes.
