Highlights
Our navigation will take you to know one of the most beautiful places in Los Glaciares National Park, which only a few people have the privilege of accessing: the May Sine of Lake Argentino. The Seno Mayo (or Brazo Mayo), is one of the wettest sectors of the National Park, that is why the vegetation that can be selected in the course of the two walks (which we will do in the Patagonian Andean forest) is totally different from the which observes in other places National Park. The "Mayo Spirit Trek" is the perfect combination of trekking in the forest, with a view of waterfalls, rivers, hanging glaciers and a visit to the Perito Moreno glacier (navigation + walkways). Suitable all-public, with low difficulty walks, makes our passengers fascinated with our excursion.

Itinerary
1st stop BAHIA TORO (Total distance walking: 700mts. approx. / Difficulty: low, flat ground.) We will disembark in Bahía Toro and, accompanied by the guide of the boat, we will make an interpretative walk through the Patagonian Andean forest until we reach the waterfall. From the shore of the lake, we can observe the hanging glaciers of Cerro Mayo and Cerro Negro. We will return to the boat and, in just 15 more minutes of sailing, we will reach our next stop...
2nd Stop CERRO NEGRO (Total distance walking: 1,000mts. approx. / Difficulty: medium, soft slope.) We will disembark in Cerro Negro and, together with the guide of the boat, we will start a hike by entering the Patagonian Andean forest. We will go along a river that will take us to Cerro Negro, proper. We will reach a few meters from the base of this hill and (from there) we can contemplate the wonderful Black Glacier. This is a “hanging” glacier (it is on the mountain), from it a lot of waterfalls are born, which give rise to the river that we were bordering throughout our walk. We will stay for a while in this place, observing the incredible landscape around us. Then we will return to the boat that will take us to our next destination...
After sailing, we will leave the Seno Mayo del Lago Argentino to return to sailing along the Canal de los Empanos. In this part of the tour we will take advantage of lunch on board (carry vianda). In a few minutes, we will begin to see (at the end of the Channel) the northern wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier. When we get there, we will make a slow navigation in front of that wall. Then, we will disembark in Puerto Perito Moreno to head (in the company of the ship's guide) to the walkways, which are located in front of the Perito Moreno glacier. There we will have free time to walk and observe the glacier from the different balconies. At the time set by the guide, we will return to Puerto Perito Moreno to re-embark and return to the initial place of departure, the Port of Punta Bandera.

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.
