After picking you up at your hotel at approximately 7 am, we will travel to the Port of Punta Bandera, located 47 km from El Calafate.

Once on board the incredible boat, we will begin our navigation along the North Arm of Lake Argentino. We cross the Boca del Diablo to the Upsala Channel and sail among the large icebergs that break off the front of the Upsala Glacier.

Then we will sail through the Spegazzini Channel and moments later we will have the first view of the Seco Glacier. We will continue sailing to the front of the Spegazzini Glacier where we will also contemplate the Heim Sur and Peineta glaciers.

We get ready to disembark at the Spegazzini Base and, walking along a forest trail, we arrive at the Spegazzini Refuge, which has all the services you need during your stay and will allow you to experience truly unique moments with its dazzling panoramic views.

Once back on the boat, we will make the second part of the navigation until we return to Punta Bandera around 4 pm.

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!
