What To Expect

It is one of the most important navigations in the El Calafate area when visiting the Upsala and Spegazzini glaciers, combining it with a descent into the forest from where you can hike and enjoy a view like never before of the Spegazzini Glacier and Glacier Bay.
The northern arm of Lake Argentino is visited by crossing the Icebergs Channel, located 14 km from the Upsala Glacier (one of the largest), also sailing in front of the Spegazzini Glacier (the highest). The navigation takes place between spectacular icebergs of enormous size and varied shapes. A disembarkation is made at the Spegazzini Base where you will start a walk through the forest until you arrive at the Restaurant "Refugio Spegazzini" where you can have lunch or take a short walk through the Andean Patagonian forest.
