Details
Day 1 Boarding the Crucero Leal
(D)
From El Calafate you’ll be transferred to the pier at Puerto Bandera (approx. 50 km) to board Mar Patag's Crucero Leal, your home for the next two days. Enjoy a welcome dinner on board.
Day 2 Exploring Lago Argentina
(B,L,D)After breakfast, the captain and crew will welcome you. The boat departs at 9 am, heading north across Lago Argentino to Punta Avellaneda. Float by ghostly icebergs, a reminder of the nearby Upsala Glacier--at nearly 7 km wide, it is one of the largest in the park. You'll eat lunch while passing through the Canal de las Americas, surrounded by fantastic scenery. This afternoon, you'll have the chance to admire the Spegazzini Glacier, an enormous river of ice that spills down a rocky slope toward the lake. Watch the colors of the setting sun reflect in the ice before we anchor at Puerto Las Vacas and enjoy dinner on board.
Day 3 Perito Moreno Glacier
(B,L)
After a hearty breakfast, spend the morning cruising across the Canal de los Tempanos, up to Bahia Alemana, where lunch is served. This afternoon continue sailing until you reach the famed Perito Moreno Glacier, more than three miles wide and more than 20 stories high--a highlight of your Patagonia travels! Sail by the massive wall of blue ice, absorbing the magnificence of the glacier's anatomy and listening to its thunderous concerto of groaning and cracking ice crumbling into the lake below. Return to Puerto Bandera to disembark, and transfer back to El Calafate.
