Itinerary
The tour begins with a scenic boat ride across Brazo Norte of Lago Argentino, offering panoramic views of the Upsala Glacier, South America’s third-longest glacier.
From there, a small group boards a 4×4 vehicle for a 9.5 km journey through the Feruglio Mountain Range to reach the starting point of the trekking route.
The 4.5-hour hike follows trails revealing marine fossils along the Cañadón de los Fósiles and leads to a privileged viewpoint of Glaciar Upsala, with Lago Guillermo providing a breathtaking backdrop. Guests experience the Patagonian wilderness while learning about the area’s geological history.
