Description
Glaciares Gourmet is a full-day tour that will immerse you in the splendor of Patagonia. The adventure begins at Puerto La Soledad, Bahía Tranquila (Paraje Punta Bandera), 45 kilometers from El Calafate. On board our vessel, you will feel safe and comfortable as you venture into the immense Lake Argentino, crossing the narrow Boca del Diablo (the narrowest passage of the lake, approximately 800 meters wide) and exploring the imposing Bahía Escuadra, with views of towering mountain walls and the Condorera (condor nest), sailing across the lake with views of the outposts of old Estancias.
We'll sail through the Spegazzini Channel, where you'll be dazzled by the views of the Seco (Totalizador) and Heim Glaciers, as well as the impressive Spegazzini Glacier (the tallest glacier in Los Glaciares National Park, with walls exceeding 130 meters in height). We'll then sail towards Las Vacas Bay and disembark at Puesto Las Vacas for a guided 50-minute walk, exploring the flora, fauna, and remnants of ancient inhabitants.
Afterward, we'll head to the Upsala Channel, where you'll have a panoramic view of the Upsala Glacier and its icebergs. During the voyage, you can also purchase food, snacks, drinks, and infusions, as the vessel has a bar service. Finally, we'll sail through the Iceberg Channel to approach the Perito Moreno Glacier from its northern face, offering a different and spectacular perspective of this imposing structure.

Terminamos el día hablando de lo bien que había estado. No teníamos idea de la historia de Glaciar Spegazzini. La parada en Caminata fue lo que más nos gustó. Terminamos con una idea clara de cómo está armada la ciudad.

Una experiencia hermosa
Contratamos esto casi sin expectativas y terminó siendo lo más lindo del viaje. Aprendimos más de la ciudad en unas horas que leyendo tres guías.

Muy recomendable, sin vueltas. El personal de tierra fue amable desde el primer contacto. El detalle de sala Classic del Crucero Maria Turquesa suma bastante. El guía se acordaba del nombre de todos, un detalle que se agradece. Totalmente recomendado.

Un placer
Muy recomendable, sin vueltas. La organización se notó, cero improvisación. Para lo que incluye, el precio es más que razonable. Ojalá todos los tours fueran así.

Gostamos
Achamos correto e bem organizado. O guia falava muito rápido e às vezes a gente perdia o fio. Tiramos muitas fotos, o roteiro passa pelos lugares certos. Faltou um mapa impresso, tudo dependia do celular. Boa opção, principalmente na primeira visita.

Un buen paseo, sin llegar a ser inolvidable. El guía cumplió, sin ser memorable. La coordinación fue puntual y todo estuvo organizado. Una de las paradas estaba cerrada ese día y no lo avisaron. Buena experiencia dentro de todo.
