El Calafate, Todo Glaciares Boat Trip

El Calafate, Argentina

Patagonia Dreams

Embark on a unique boating expedition that seamlessly intertwines with the breathtaking landscapes of Uppsala and Spegazzini glaciers before concluding with a serene stroll through the verdant forests surrounding the Patagonian region. Upon arrival at the Spegazzini Refuge, immerse yourself in panoramic vistas and indulge in an intimate encounter with nature's splendor.



Starting your journey at 7:00 AM from your hotel in El Calafate, proceed to the Punta Bandera Port for your departure at 9:00 AM.

Embark on a 47-kilometer route through the northern arm of the Argentino Lake. Proceed further across the Boca del Diablo, the narrowest section of the lake.

Next, explore the Upsala and Spegazzini channels. Here, you can observe the Upsala Glacier, the largest on Argentino Lake, which can be glimpsed from approximately 20 kilometers away. Marvel at the Spegazzini Glacier, one of the highest, alongside the Dry, Heim Sur, and Peineta glaciers.

Upon entering the Spegazzini Channel, traverse a challenging 300-meter path through the dense forest, stopping periodically to admire panoramic views of the entire Bay of Glaciers.

At the Spegazzini Refuge, indulge in an optional three-course lunch accompanied by refreshments, browse the shop, and take in the breathtaking scenery from the terrace.

Those seeking adventure may embark upon a moderate 700-meter trek, embarking on a woodland path with natural viewpoints of the Spegazzini Glacier culminating at the landing point. Upon returning to the boat, set sail for El Calafate, where you will be picked up promptly at your accommodation.

Please note: This itinerary assumes favorable weather conditions; if adverse conditions arise, alternative routes or adjustments to the schedule might be necessary.
