What will you do?


We set sail from Puerto Punta Bandera, 47 km from El Calafate, where you will be welcomed at our welcoming boarding terminal. Our team will guide you through the pre-boarding process and, if you do not yet have a ticket to the National Park, we will tell you where to purchase it.

Once on board our comfortable boats, everything is ready to offer you the best service. We begin by sailing along the Northern Arm of Lake Argentino, crossing the Boca del Diablo and entering the Upsala Channel, where you will experience the thrill of sailing among the icebergs that have broken off from the Upsala Glacier, an unparalleled experience.

Then, we continue towards the Spegazzini Channel, where you will have exclusive views of hanging glaciers such as the Seco, the Heim Sur and the Peineta, which set the stage for the greatest spectacle: the majestic Spegazzini Glacier, the highest of all, which will offer you an impressive view.

To conclude this unforgettable journey, you will disembark at our exclusive Spegazzini Base, right in front of the glacier. There you will be able to enjoy our refuge, which has all the necessary services to make your stay a unique moment, surrounded by stunning panoramic views.

We will begin our walk along the walkways of Los Glaciares National Park, which run for 5 km divided into different levels, offering unique panoramic views of the famous Perito Moreno Glacier, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. During the walk, you will be able to admire its imposing ice walls and, with a bit of luck, witness the detachment of blocks in their characteristic blue tones. After finishing the tour, we will begin the return to El Calafate, having enjoyed one of the most important natural wonders of the world.
