Description
This excursion will allow us to see the northern part of Lake Argentino, fed by different glaciers and with incomparable landscapes. We will take Provincial Route 11, where after 45 km we will arrive at Puerto Bandera where we will embark on a modern catamaran. The navigation begins entering the North Arm of the Lake crossing the Boca del Diablo, natural access to this arm of the Lake and thus get as close as possible due to the large number of Icebergs that are in that area, to the Upsala Glacier, the largest in the National Park. Continuing the navigation along the Spegazzini Arm we will begin to observe the glaciers Heim Sur, Peineta, Seco and finally reach the Spegazzini Glacier. We will disembark at the base and begin the visit to the area, walking through the forest trail to the Refuge. This 300-meter trail is accessible and as we walk along it we stop at stations and viewpoints overlooking the entire Glacier Bay. At the Refuge we can have lunch (optional) while we contemplate the landscape. For those who like to hike, you can take the mountain trail (1200 mts), this is a medium-dficulty route through a wooded path, with natural viewpoints full of incredible views. We will embark again to return to the port from where we left and then transfer to El Calafate. The Catamaran has a VIP sector (Captain's Club) - additional cost. It has a preferential location next to the Captain's cabin and includes a 3-course menu, and free drinks (hot and cold), which is served in a special lounge in the Base Restaurant.
