Description

Desert Lake Adventure + Vespignani Glacier Trek

Your adventure begins with hotel pickup in El Calafate at the scheduled time, followed by a bus trip to El Chaltén. During this journey, we will pause for a refreshing break beside the La Leona River.

After approximately three hours on the road, we will reach El Chaltén. The route continues along an astonishing panoramic road, bordered by vibrant forests, leading us to the picturesque Desert Lake. Here, we will embark on a delightful half-hour boat ride, allowing us to admire the Huemul and Creston glaciers from a close perspective.

Upon disembarking at the base of the Vespignani Glacier, we will venture into the stunning nature reserve to commence an exhilarating trekking path. Depending on your chosen trail difficulty, this segment will last between 15 to 45 minutes.

As you immerse yourself in the striking Patagonian scenery and absorb breathtaking views of the north face of Mount Fitz Roy, we will pause for a delicious lunch to recharge. Following our break, we will board the boat once more to return to the bus and make our way back to El Calafate.

In conclusion, after an enriching 14-hour journey, we will escort you back to your hotel.
