Los Glaciares National Park VIP Cruise + Hiking Tour
Description
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up in a private vehicle at your hotel in El Calafate and then head to La Soledad Port. There, we'll board the VIP area of the ship and begin a cruise through Los Glaciares National Park, followed by a hiking route – a complete experience!
With an exclusive view from the premium cabin, located at the top of the ship, you'll be able to see all the main highlights of Los Glaciares National Park. First, we'll stop in front of the Seco Glacier, which is in retreat, so you can see an ancient strip of eroded land. Then, the cruise will continue towards the Heim and Spegazzini Glaciers. Did you know that the latter glacier reaches about 443 feet (135 meters) high?
Next, we'll disembark at Puesto de Las Vacas to enjoy a 40-minute hiking trail. Throughout the hike, we'll learn about the history of the region all while enjoying the breathtaking landscapes of Argentine Patagonia.
Then, after the hiking activity, we'll continue on the cruise to the Upsala Glacier. On the deck of the ship, you'll be able to wonder at this impressive ice mass and the surrounding natural landscape. Did you know that it's the third-largest glacier in the southern hemisphere?
At this point in the tour, you'll enjoy a gourmet lunch in the ship's premium cabin. And, as if that weren't enough, you'll have access to unlimited non-alcoholic beverages during the entire voyage!
Following a delicious meal, the cruise will continue through the Canal de los Témpanos to the north wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier – the perfect finishing touch!
After 8 hours of touring and breathtaking views, we'll drop you back off at your hotel in El Calafate.
