We have an approach to the history of the first expeditions that arrived in the region, and to the species of animals and plants which are present in the imposing Beagle Channel.Birds island: Our tour guide accompanies us to teach us about the history, geography, and marine fauna of the environment we are submerged into. Birds show themselves all around us and during the entire sail, flying over the waters that make up their natural habitat. Our first stop is Bird Island, where we will sightsee cormorants, seagulls, terns, and the snowy sheathbill.Sea lions island: In another of the Beagle Channel islands, we find the South American sea lions and the South American fur seals. It is interesting to see the behavior and habitat where these imposing sea mammals live. We have the opportunity to get near them and see in detail their behavior!Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse: Upon arrival at Les Éclaireurs lighthouse, we can appreciate how the fauna of the channel lives together in this scenery. We travel in time to reminisce the sinking of the SS Monte Cervantes that happened in 1930; and to learn the reason why some call it “the lighthouse of the End of the World”.

Day 3 Full Day Navigation Todo Glaciares
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Full Day Navigation Todo Glaciares

After breakfast we will take a bus to Punta Bandera where we will then get on board of a boat for a trip across the "Ice Rivers". Here we will appreciate the other various glaciers: Upsala, Onelli, Agassiz and Bolado. You can take along with you a box lunch or you can buy some snacks on the boat.

The catamaran will take you to the main points of interest in the Glacier National Park. We will first stop in front of the colossal and icy blue walls of the Upsala Glacier. With a surface area of 870 square kilometers, it is the third-largest glacier in the Southern Hemisphere. From the boat, we will be able to observe its incredible icy landscape, which even serves as a training ground for the military forces that travel to Antarctica.

We will continue our journey to the Spegazzini Glacier. The most impressive thing about this mass of rock and ice is its walls: they reach a height of 135 meters! We will leave behind its white peaks between Chile and Argentina to enter the cold waters that surround the Seco Glacier.

This is a retreating glacier (hence its name) that shows a tongue of land eroded in the past. Around it we will observe the green vegetation trying to make its way through the ice.

The catamaran will continue its journey along Lake Argentino to Punta Bandera. After tour is over you will be transfered back to your hotel in El Calafate

Overnight @ Hotel Alto Calafate or similar
Day 4 Full Day Perito Moreno Glacier With Navigation To Brazo Rico Channel
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Full Day Perito Moreno Glacier With Navigation To Brazo Rico Channel

Departing from El Calafate, we will travel 80kilometers by bus to the simply mind-blowing natural beauty of the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the last naturally advancing glaciers in the world. Then we will take a boat across the Lake Brazo Rico and appreciate the various faces of the famous glaciar.

During the trip we will meet beautiful places in the pre-Andean mountain range, traveling along the main course of Lago Argentino. After crossing along Centinela and Mitre Rivers, we arrive in Brazo Rico to enter the Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. Along the shores of Lago Rico floating ice can be appreciated until we are finally astonished by an area of exceptional natural beauty and a UNESCO National Heritage site. We will have time to walk throughout the runways, exploring and sightseeing Perito Moreno’s uniqueness. We will eat in a native restaurant.

Safari Nautico: The tour consists of one-hour navigation on the Lago Rico that allows us to appreciate the walls of the ice Perito Moreno Glacier. The boat gets as close as possible (200 meters) to the point where Glacier touches the Península de Magallanes. Then, it sails 3 kilometers facing the south wall so that passengers can admire the daily ruptures and the magnificent beauty of the crevasses, the vast cracks, and its peculiar blue color. It’s highly recommended to include the visit to the Glacier since the south wall can’t be completely appreciated from the runways. Finally, we return to Calafate.
