Additional Information
The journey begins at the private port La Soledad, located 47 kilometers from El Calafate.
From there, at 9:00 AM we will set sail for the North Canal of Lake Argentino. The ice floes will decorate our passage through the Upsala Canal, from where we can see the Upsala Glacier about 15 km away. Then, we headed towards the Spegazzini Channel to see several hanging glaciers such as the Seco, Heim Sur, Peinetta, and then disembark at Puesto de Las Vacas. There we will take a 30-minute walk through an Andean Patagonian forest and its beaches. Upon returning to the boat we will enjoy lunch while we continue our walk until we reach the front of the highest glacier in the National Park: the Spegazzini Glacier. At this point we go to the Perito Moreno Glacier, where they can disembark on the footbridges for an hour and a half (if they choose this option).
We will return to La Soledad port and return to the city at 06:00 PM.
- Wheelchair passengers must go with a companion. The trail in the forest is not suitable for wheelchair use.

Amazing - We were lucky enough to have the cruise on a beautiful sunny day and it was amazing. Incredible landscape, very informative guide. The boat can carry probably 200-300 passengers, so you should expect a busy ride!

Highlights: navigation at the foot of glaciers and ice floes, with no need to disembark in the woods. - The tour was well organized and went very well, although disembarking for the walk in the woods was unnecessary, it would have been preferable to have sailed longer along the Perito Moreno. However, booking through Tripadvisor was a terrible experience, we paid more than double what it would have cost if we had booked directly with the local operator, I believe we were deceived and I will never book anything through Tripadvisor again.

An extraordinary day close to the glaciers - We spent the day as close as possible to the glaciers, this cruise allows us to approach the Spegazzini and Upsala glaciers and also to see El Perito Moreno up close and to do the footbridges, which is exactly what we wanted. We didn't see the day go by with our 2 daughters aged 5 and 7. It's expensive but it's worth it.

It is worth it - It is an extensive and interesting navigation. With opportunities for lots of photos and landscapes to remember. The meal is not good. But the boat bar has cookies, alfajores, croissants and various drinks (alcoholic and not). I think you can bring a more interesting snack than the lunch served (a sandwich and a small pot of dulce de leche mousse). There were a lot of people taking it. There is a second floor on the boat, which seemed to have more sophisticated options and a private terrace.

Breadth taking views, different agency might be better - The trip itself was great, breath taking views, great food. Everything on board the boat was just great. The little problem was with potagania dreams agency which was in charge of organising the transport to/from boat. The guide in charge of the way back was barely speaking English, she gave off very confusing and contradicting instructions which lead to two people waiting for the bus at different station and delayed the trip by over an hour. I would recommend booking the trip with marpatag directly
