Once all passengers are on board, sailing begins on the North Arm of Lake Argentina at 9 am. We crossed the Devil’s Mouth to the Uppsala Canal, sailing between huge floes detached from the front of the Uppsala Glacier. As you enter the Spegazzini Canal, you will enjoy a panoramic view of various glaciers, with the opportunity to take pictures at designated stops to observe the imposing ice blocks.

Throughout the tour, passengers will have the opportunity to view several of the numerous glaciers found in Lago Argentino, including the Seco Glacier, the Spegazzini Glacier, the South Heim Glacier, and the Peineta Glacier. During navigation, you can admire the ice blocks from various angles, which will allow you to capture the best photographs.

We will disembark at La Base Spegazzini to trek through the 300-meter path through the forest to the Spegazzini Refuge. It is accessible and does not represent complexity since it is done on firm ground.

About El Calafate

El Calafate is a small Patagonian town on the shore of Lago Argentino, the base for the Perito Moreno Glacier and Los Glaciares National Park.

El Calafate lies on the south shore of Lago Argentino, a milky turquoise lake fed by glacial meltwater, with the Andes on the western horizon. The town is named after the calafate, a thorny shrub with dark berries, and a local saying promises that anyone who eats them will return to Patagonia. It was founded in the 1920s to serve the surrounding sheep estancias and now exists chiefly as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park.
