Full description
Experience one of Patagonia's most breathtaking experiences with Todo Glaciares, a unique nautical excursion departing from Puerto Punta Bandera, just 47 km from El Calafate, directly connected to the immensity of Los Glaciares National Park. Upon arrival at the port, you'll be welcomed at a welcoming boarding terminal, where our team will assist you at all times so you can focus exclusively on enjoying this extraordinary experience. If you haven't yet purchased your National Park ticket, we'll tell you how to do so.
Aboard modern and comfortable vessels, you'll begin sailing along the North Arm of Lake Argentino, crossing the narrow Boca del Diablo (Devil's Mouth) toward the Upsala Channel, where one of the most breathtaking moments of the tour begins: sailing among floating icebergs, many of them large, that break off from the majestic Upsala Glacier. This journey between blocks of turquoise ice creates a unique and unrepeatable landscape.
The itinerary then continues to the Spegazzini Channel, surrounded by hanging glaciers such as the Dry Glacier, Heim Sur, and Peineta Glaciers, leading up to the most anticipated moment: arriving at the imposing Spegazzini Glacier, the highest in the park, with an ice wall that reaches over 135 meters high. The view is simply unforgettable.
The journey ends with disembarkation at Spegazzini Base, located right in front of the glacier. There, you can relax in the modern Spegazzini Refuge, a space fully integrated into the natural environment, equipped with all the necessary services for a comfortable day. With its large windows and panoramic terraces, this refuge offers one of the best views of the National Park. Additionally, you can savor regional dishes with gastronomic offerings for all tastes, as an optional extra.
The entire route has been designed with 100% accessible infrastructure, including ramps, elevators, floating docks, and adapted trails, allowing people with reduced mobility to enjoy each stage of the experience without restrictions.
Recently, the new Spegazzini Glacier walkways and the spectacular Agostini Lookout have been inaugurated, offering a unique panoramic view of the park's highest glacier, in a setting perfectly in harmony with the natural landscape and a commitment to conservation.
Todo Glaciares is not just a boat trip: it's a profound experience with ice, water, and mountains that cannot be described in words. Sail among glaciers, discover unparalleled landscapes, and feel the energy of one of the most stunning regions in the natural world.
