Full description

From the Port of Punta Bandera, 47 km from El Calafate, we start sailing along the North Arm of Lake Argentino. We cross the Boca del Diablo and head for the Upsala Channel to sail among the large icebergs that break off the front of the Upsala Glacier. A fascinating experience.

Then, we will continue the journey to the Spegazzini Channel that will offer you unique views of some beautiful hanging glaciers such as the Seco, the South Heim and the Peineta that are the prelude to the biggest show, "The Spegazzini Glacier", the biggest of them all, with one of the most impressive views.

We prepare to disembark at our exclusive Spegazzini Base, right in front of the glacier. A place that has all the necessary services and also to experience dazzling panoramic views.
