Discover two of Patagonia’s most iconic destinations on a full-day private tour from El Calafate. This experience combines a tour of the mythical Route 40, a sailing on Lake Viedma overlooking the stunning Viedma Glacier and free time to discover El Chaltén, the National Capital of Trekking.
The adventure starts with the transfer from your accommodation in El Calafate. During the trip you will visit the vastness of the Patagonian steppe, stopping at the historic Parador La Leona and at different panoramic points of Lake Viedma.
When we arrive at Bahía Túnel we will embark to navigate Lake Viedma and approach the largest glacier in continental Argentina. From the water you can admire its imposing ice walls, floating ice floes and the vastness of the South Patagonian Ice Field.
Then we will make a visit to the village of El Chaltén, where we will make a short walk to know the Chorrillo del Salto Waterfall.
