Overview

I lived the unique experience of walking on one of the few advancing glaciers in the world. For about an hour, you will explore its crevasses, caves and formations accompanied by specialized guides. The excursion includes a sailing through the South Arm of Lake Argentina, which offers breathtaking views of the glacier from the water.

At the end, you will enjoy a toast with views and walk the walkways of Los Glaciares National Park.
Depending on the contracted option, the experience may include transfer to and from your hotel, or take place without transfers.

A complete and unforgettable adventure in the heart of Patagonia.
