Lake Viedma Glaciers Boat Tour
Description
Crystal-clear waters, vibrant blue ice formations, and snow-covered mountains combine to create a breathtaking visual tapestry on this cruise on Lake Viedma, complete with pickup service from your hotel in El Calafate.
Activity Overview
At the designated time, our team will meet you at your El Calafate hotel and embark on a journey to one of the most stunning locations in Santa Cruz Province, nestled in the heart of Argentine Patagonia.
As we traverse Route 40, we will follow the scenic shores of Lake Argentino. Approximately midway, we will pause at Hotel La Leona, situated along the riverbank, allowing you to stretch your legs and perhaps grab some breakfast. After this break, we’ll resume our drive, reaching Bahía Túnel port after a total of around 3 hours on the road.
Once we arrive at this picturesque dock just outside El Chaltén, our cruise on Lake Viedma will commence. Get ready to be amazed as we navigate its striking turquoise waters, with the soft, snowy backdrop of the Huemul Massif rising majestically in the distance, a hallmark of this region.
Continuing our voyage, we will arrive at Cabo de Hornos Bay after approximately 40 minutes. Here, you will be treated to breathtaking views within Los Glaciares National Park, witnessing drifting icebergs in Iceberg Bay alongside the impressive Andes peaks.
After enjoying these remarkable vistas, we'll return to the boat where you’ll savor a sandwich, brownie, and bottled water, all included in the experience. For those wishing to have additional refreshments, lunch options are available for purchase at the onboard bar as we set our course toward Viedma Glacier, recognized as the largest glacier in Argentina. Onboard, you’ll have the chance to observe its colossal ice mass, distinguished by its deep radiance and dynamic textures.
In conclusion, we'll navigate back to Bahía Túnel port. Afterward, we will return to your El Calafate hotel, completing this enriching 12.5-hour adventure.
