What To Expect

Next, you will go to the Spegazzini Channel to see several hanging glaciers such as Seco, Heim Sur, Peinetta and then disembark at Puesto de Las Vacas. There you will take a 30-minute walk through a Patagonian Andean forest and its beaches.
Upon returning to the boat, you will have enough time to have lunch while you continue the tour until you reach the front of the highest glacier in the National Park: the Spegazzini Glacier (135 meters above sea level). lake level). Here you will have time to take pictures and contemplate in silence all the natural beauty.
