Description

From the Port of Punta Bandera, 47 km from El Calafate, we start sailing on the North Arm of Lake Argentino. We cross the Boca del Diablo to the Upsala Canal and to navigate among the large icebergs that emerge from the front of the Upsala Glacier. Then we enter the Spegazzini Channel and moments later we will have the first view of the Dry Glacier. We continue sailing to the front of the Spegazzini Glacier where we will also see the Heim Sur and Peineta glaciers. We prepare to disembark at Spegazzini Base and begin the visit to the area by walking through the forest path to the Spegazzini Refuge (next to be inaugurated). This 300-meter path is accessible and when we cross it we stop at stations and viewpoints overlooking the entire Bay of Los Glaciares. In the refuge we can have lunch, visit the shop or contemplate the landscape. For those who like to walk, they can take the mountain path. This route is a trekking of medium difficulty through a forested road, with natural viewpoints, full of incredible views that ends at the landing point.
