On this day trip to the Los Glaciares National Park by boat, you'll enjoy the incredible frozen landscapes of the Lago Argentino in a different way.

Patagonia Glacier Cruise + Lunch

The tour leaves from La Soledad port first thing in the morning. From here, we'll begin our cruise, taking in the glaciers of the Argentinian Lake.

Our boat will tour the main points in Los Glaciares National Park. First, we'll see the "Dry Glacier", a glacier that's shrinking, with a spit of land sticking out, vegetation working hard to form a passage among the ice. Then, we'll admire the Heim and Spegazzini Glaciers - the sheer walls of this mass of rock and ice are certainly its most impressive part at 135 m ( 442 ft) tall.

Then we'll disembark from the cruise in Puesto de Las Vacas, to enjoy a hiking route of approximately 40-50 minutes, where your guide will immerse you in the history and stories of the region with the stunning backdrop of the unparalleled Patagonian landscape.

With our walk over, we'll get up close and personal with the Upsala Glacier. With a surface area of 870 square kilometres (936 square feet), it's the third-largest glacier in the Southern Hemisphere. From the boat, you'll be able to see its incredible expanse of ice, which is even used by the armed forces that are deployed in Antarctica.

Stunned still by this colossal wall of ice, you'll enjoy a delicious lunch on board, including a sandwich with seasonal products and dessert. We'll sail on the Canal de los Témpanos until we get to the north of the Perito Moreno glacier, the cherry on the cake in this captivating excursion on the Patagonian rivers of ice.

Finally, having disembarked again in the La Soledad port at about 5 pm, we'll say goodbye or accompany you back to your hotel, depending on the option you have reserved.

Itinerary Order

Pickup & Transfers

If you want to enjoy a more complete experience, you can book the VIP boat trip and hike to the Los Glacieres National Park. This activity includes pickup and private transfer back to the hotel, access to the VIP area of the boat, a gourmet lunch, and unlimited drinks during the crossing.
