Itinerary
We depart for the port of Punta Bandera, 47 km from the city of El Calafate, where you will be welcomed at our cozy boarding terminal along with part of our team, who will guide you through the pre-boarding process. If you do not yet have your National Park entrance ticket, we will inform you where to purchase it.
Once aboard our comfortable boats, fully prepared to offer you the best service, the Sunset experience begins by navigating the Northern Arm of Argentino Lake, crossing the Boca del Diablo, heading toward the Spegazzini Channel, offering unique views of hanging glaciers such as Seco, Heim Sur, and Peineta, the prelude to the greatest spectacle: the Spegazzini Glacier, the largest of all, waiting to offer you a breathtaking view.
Next, you will disembark at our exclusive Spegazzini Base, right in front of the glacier, to enjoy our spacious refuge, equipped with all the services you need during your visit and allowing you to experience truly unique moments with stunning panoramic views.
To crown the experience, we will navigate back through the Upsala Channel to enjoy the unique sensation of sailing among icebergs calved from the Upsala Glacier. A truly wonderful and unforgettable experience.
Sunset is much more than a boat ride. It is a unique experience, unlike anything you’ve ever known, impossible to describe in words, and it allows you to enjoy the most beautiful sunset in Patagonia. Don’t hesitate — you have to be there.
