Located on the shores of Lago Argentino, the country’s largest lake, El Calafate is surrounded by the immense landscapes of the Patagonian steppe and serves as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park. Known as Argentina’s glacier capital, the town is the main base for discovering the world-famous Perito Moreno Glacier and the dramatic ice fields, mountains, and pristine wilderness of Southern Patagonia.

Upon arrival at El Calafate Airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel.

We will pick you up early in the morning for a full-day exploration of Los Glaciares National Park, part of the vast Patagonian Ice Field and one of South America’s most extraordinary natural landscapes.

The experience begins at Punta Bandera, where you will board a boat and navigate the turquoise waters of Lake Argentino, Argentina’s largest lake. Sailing through the Mayo Channel, you will reach remote areas of the national park that can only be accessed by water, surrounded by glaciers, mountains, and pristine Patagonian wilderness.

At Toro Bay, disembark for a guided walk through the Andean-Patagonian forest, home to native species such as lenga and ñire trees. Continue towards a stream and waterfall framed by impressive limestone formations before returning to the boat.

The navigation continues through Seno Mayo, offering views of the Mayo Glacier and the hanging glacier of Cerro Negro. After disembarking, enjoy another guided walk through the forest to a panoramic viewpoint, where the glacier and surrounding peaks create an impressive 360° Patagonian landscape.

Finally, sail towards the north face of the magnificent Perito Moreno Glacier, one of Patagonia’s most iconic natural attractions. Disembark near the famous walkways and enjoy time exploring the different viewing platforms, which offer spectacular perspectives of the immense glacier and its dramatic ice formations.

After experiencing one of the great natural wonders of South America, you will return to El Calafate.
