The day begins at Puerto Punta Bandera, just 47 km from El Calafate, where our team will welcome you to a warm, modern terminal.
Once aboard our state-of-the-art vessels, an unforgettable voyage begins along the North Arm of Lake Argentino. We pass through the narrow Devil's Mouth —the lake's tightest point—heading toward the Upsala Channel. Along this stretch, you will feel the thrill of navigating among massive icebergs that have calved from the majestic Upsala Glacier, one of the park's largest.
The adventure continues toward the Spegazzini Channel, where the landscape transforms into a succession of hanging glaciers—such as Seco, Heim Sur, and Peineta—framing the approach to the main attraction: the Spegazzini Glacier.
To top it all off, we disembark at Base Spegazzini, an exclusive, full-service lodge situated right in front of the glacier. There, you can enjoy free time to rest, have lunch, or simply sit by the panoramic window and marvel at the vastness of the surroundings.
