Description:

Spend an unforgettable day of adventure ice trekking on Viedma, one of Patagonia’s largest glaciers. Get a glimpse of majestic Monte Fitz Roy, cruise through ice flows on Viedma Lake, and visit the El Chaltén village, known as the Capital of Trekking.

After you’re picked up from your hotel, ride down the iconic Route 40, leaving El Calafate behind and heading along the shores of the Lago Argentino toward the historic La Leona Roadhouse & Country Lodge. Make a brief stop to enjoy some freshly brewed coffee and cakes, and then continue to Viedma Lake, where you can take in sweeping views of craggy, blue-white glaciers.

On your way to the idyllic Andean village of El Chaltén, admire the breathtaking panorama featuring the rugged peak of Monte Fitz Roy. Upon arrival in the village, spend some time checking out the information at the Historical Interpretation Center before a ride to the Port of Bahia. There, step aboard a ship and cruise through the ice floes to Viedma, the largest glacier in the UNESCO-listed Los Glaciares National Park.

Hop off the boat, strap on your crampons, and prepare for an unforgettable adventure as you head out on a 2.5-hour trek through the frozen icescapes, crevasses, and ice caves. The hike is led by a certified expert mountain guide who knows the glacier well, so your expedition is sure to be both safe and highly informative.
