Itinerary
Imagine traveling to Patagonia and having that surreal feeling of truly being at the end of the world, surrounded by huge icebergs and glaciers. It is truly a phenomenal experience!
Not to mention that visiting Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a boat trip across one of the largest and most beautiful lakes in Latin America is almost a must for anyone visiting the beautiful city of El Calafate.
We depart for Punta Bandera Port, located 47 km from the city of El Calafate. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed at our cozy boarding terminal by part of our team, who will guide you through the pre-boarding process. If by then you do not yet have your national park entrance ticket, we will inform you where to purchase it.
Once on board our comfortable boats, where our entire crew is ready to provide you with the best service, we begin navigation along the North Arm of Lake Argentino, crossing the Devil’s Mouth, heading toward the Upsala Channel, to experience the unique sensation of sailing among icebergs that break off from the Upsala Glacier. A truly wonderful experience.
Next, we sail toward the Spegazzini Channel, which offers unique views of several beautiful hanging glaciers, such as Seco, Heim Sur, and Peineta, which serve as a prelude to the greatest spectacle of all: the Spegazzini Glacier. The largest of them all awaits you with its imposing presence.
And to crown this moment, you will disembark at our exclusive Spegazzini Base, right in front of the glacier, to enjoy our great mountain refuge, which offers all the services you need during your stay and allows you to experience truly unforgettable moments with its breathtaking panoramic views.
The Captain’s Club Lounge offers privileged views of the Spegazzini Glacier and the Heim Glacier. Passengers who wish to take their experience to another level during our navigation can book the optional Captain’s Club service. It features preferred seating and exclusive attention from the hosts throughout the entire tour, as well as exclusive meal service and non-alcoholic beverages during the experience. You will even be able to enjoy alcoholic beverages at special moments of your adventure.
And when you disembark at Spegazzini Base, a spectacular menu with unforgettable regional Patagonian delicacies will be waiting for you.
This is the Captain’s Club: the wonderful experience of living something truly unique with the highest level of comfort, combined with the satisfaction of enjoying it with an incomparable service.
