Description

Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in El Calafate. Travel to Puerto Punta Bandera, where you’ll board a comfortable vessel. If you haven’t yet purchased your Los Glaciares National Park entrance ticket, your guide will show you where to acquire it. Sail through the North Arm of Lake Argentino, crossing the Devil's Mouth (Boca del Diablo), and head toward the Upsala Channel. Experience the unparalleled sensation of sailing among icebergs—some of enormous size—that break off from Upsala Glacier. Next, navigate to the Spegazzini Channel, offering unique views of incredible hanging glaciers including Seco Glacier, Heim Sur Glacier, and Peineta Glacier. These are the prelude to the main spectacle: the imposing Spegazzini Glacier—the largest of them all—awaiting you with its majestic presence rising over 135 meters high. Disembark at Spegazzini Base, right in front of the glacier, where you can enjoy the modern Spegazzini Refuge. The refuge offers all the services you need during your journey and provides truly unique moments with stunning panoramic views. Optionally, you can savor exquisite regional menus with options for all tastes. Benefit from fully accessible infrastructure ensuring no limitations, including access ramps, an elevator at Punta Bandera dock, a floating dock for disembarkation at Spegazzini Base, adapted restrooms on vessels and at Spegazzini Refuge, and 100% accessible trails and viewpoints. Inaugurate the new Spegazzini Glacier walkways and the Agostini Viewpoint, which offers a magnificent view of the tallest glacier in Los Glaciares National Park.
