Highlights
Once aboard our comfortable boats, we will navigate through the Boca del Diablo and head towards the Upsala Channel. Here, you will experience the unparalleled sensation of sailing among icebergs, some of very large size, that have broken off from the Upsala Glacier. It’s truly a wonderful and unique experience!
Next, we will navigate towards the Spegazzini Channel, which offers unique views of incredible hanging glaciers such as the Seco Glacier, the Heim Sur Glacier, and the Peineta Glacier, all of which are the prelude to the main spectacle: the impressive Spegazzini Glacier. The largest of them all, it awaits you with a majestic view standing over 135 meters high.
To crown this moment, we will disembark at Base Spegazzini right in front of the glacier to enjoy our modern Spegazzini Refuge, which is equipped with all the services you need during your day. This will allow you to live truly unique moments with its stunning panoramic views
