Day 1 Arrival in El Calafate

According to your flight itinerary, you will be picked up at the airport by your own private driver and transferred to your selected hotel (3 nights accommodation in Standard room ). After check in, you will enjoy the rest of the free day.

Day 2 El Calafate - Mini Trekking at Perito Moreno Glacier

This full day excursion will take you to walk over the glacier, fully equipped and accompanied by our certified bilingual guides. You will also have access to the Glacier's balconies during a whole hour in order to get the best views and landscapes of the National Park before going for this one of a kind experience. The excursion includes a 20 minutes navigation to the Perito Moreno Glacier and a long walk of 1h30 over the ice to discover every corner of the Glacier. A whisky on ice of the glacier will be served at the end of the trek to warm up the body (for adults only).

Day 3 El Calafate - Glaciers Gourmet Experience

Following morning pickup at your hotel in El Calafate, a transfer will take you to the pier to embark on a luxury cruise through Los Glaciares National Park. With “Glaciers Gourmet Experience“ we will navigate on Lago Argentino towards Punta Avellaneda and Boca del Diablo. Then, we will reach the Canal Spegazzini in order to see the glacier that bears the same name. The navigation will allow us to get closer to the glacier which has front walls between 80 and 135 meters (262 – 443 feet) above lake level. The Cruise will arrive at Puesto de Las Vacas (an extremely quiet bay in the Canal Spegazzini) where its engines will be stopped to let passengers share an amusing walk coordinated by our team of guides. In this stop it is possible to see stunning panoramic views of the Spegazzini glacier.
The navigation will continue towards the Herminita Peninsula and the series of ice floes, of the most varied colors and shapes, anticipates the proximity of Upsala glacier. We will stop in front of the barrier of ice floes which at present is blocking the entrance to Canal Upsala. If the weather conditions are good, we will observe the Upsala glaciers at the distance. A gourmet lunch box is served during navigation. 
We will continue navigating to Canal de los Tempano to finally reach the Perito Moreno Glacier, constantly advancing and causing the spectacular rupture of the wall of ice providing one of Nature's most impressive sights. We will return to the pier and after to El Calafate.

Day 4 El Calafate - End of the trip

    From the moment we stepped onto the private yacht for our gourmet cruise, we knew we were in for something special. The views of the ice formations as we sipped on fine wine and savored local delicacies created a perfect backdrop for laughter and bonding with friends. While the trekking was unforgettable, with some slightly tough terrain, the memories we made over dinner and during our guided explorations truly made this trip a standout experience.

    The highlight of my trip was definitely the gourmet cruise, where I savored a delicious feast while gliding past breathtaking ice formations. Although the trekking was exhilarating, I found the pace a bit rushed at times, leaving little room to fully absorb the majestic surroundings.

    My experience in El Calafate was a wonderful blend of relaxation and adventure. The private glacier trekking was a real treat; I had the chance to explore the icy landscapes at my own pace, which added a personal touch. Each evening, I returned to cozy accommodations that perfectly reflected the region’s charm. While the gourmet cruise offered delightful culinary surprises, I did find the boarding process a bit disorganized. Overall, this trip was a memorable escape into the wild beauty of Patagonia, filled with unique experiences that truly made it special.

    Glacier trekking was an absolute highlight of my adventure in El Calafate, where the icy landscapes took my breath away. I savored a gourmet meal aboard the cruise, but I did find the private tour a tad rushed at times, leaving me wanting just a bit more time to soak in the stunning views.
