Tour Description

Set out from El Calafate and experience two of southern Patagonia’s most breathtaking destinations in just one day: El Chaltén, renowned as the National Capital of Trekking, and the awe-inspiring Viedma Glacier, the largest glacier in Argentina.

Your adventure begins early with hotel pick-up in El Calafate, heading towards Tunnel Bay on the shores of Lake Viedma, located near El Chaltén. During the comfortable bus ride, you’ll watch the scenery transition from Patagonian steppe to the first glimpses of the Andes Mountains, signaling your approach to one of Los Glaciares National Park’s most picturesque areas.

Upon reaching Puerto Bahía Túnel, you’ll board a vessel for a spectacular cruise across Lake Viedma, surrounded by turquoise waters and the snow-dusted peaks of the Huemul Massif. As you navigate between floating icebergs from the glacier, your guide will provide fascinating insights into their origins and natural history.

After about 40 minutes, the boat arrives at Cape Horn Bay, where a gentle, short walk takes you to a natural lookout on the Cape Horn Peninsula. From this vantage point, you’ll admire Iceberg Bay and the stunning face of Viedma Glacier, the perfect spot for soaking in Patagonia’s tranquility and capturing unforgettable photos.

Returning to the boat, the journey continues with a close approach to the Viedma Glacier’s front. Witness the mesmerizing shades of blue and intricate textures of the ancient ice. During this magical section, enjoy a complimentary Lunch Box on board, as you marvel at the pristine beauty around you.

At the conclusion of your cruise, you’ll head back to the port and travel by road, where your guide will lead an interpretive tour of the town, sharing stories about its history, local culture, and daily life in this picturesque mountain village.

The day continues with a walk to Chorrillo del Salto, a stunning waterfall nestled in the Andean forest, easily accessible and perfect for ending your adventure with a peaceful moment in nature.

Finally, you’ll begin the return journey to El Calafate, carrying with you memories of a day filled with incredible scenery, nature, comfort, and excitement in the heart of Los Glaciares National Park.
