Description
Once aboard our state-of-the-art vessels, an unforgettable voyage begins along the North Arm of Lake Argentino. We pass through the narrow *Boca del Diablo* (Devil's Mouth)—the lake's tightest point—heading toward the Upsala Channel. Along this stretch, you will feel the thrill of navigating among massive icebergs that have calved from the majestic Upsala Glacier, one of the park's largest.
The adventure continues toward the Spegazzini Channel, where the landscape transforms into a succession of hanging glaciers—such as Seco, Heim Sur, and Peineta—framing the approach to the main attraction: the Spegazzini Glacier. As the park's tallest glacier, it boasts imposing ice walls reaching heights of 135 meters.
To top it all off, we disembark at Base Spegazzini, an exclusive, full-service lodge situated right in front of the glacier. There, you can enjoy free time to rest, have lunch, or simply sit by the panoramic window and marvel at the vastness of the surroundings.
"Todo Glaciares" is more than just a boat tour; it is a profound, sensory experience amidst Patagonia's eternal ice, combining nature in its purest form, moments of absolute tranquility, and breathtaking vistas that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Nos sorprendió para bien. Si te gusta la fotografía, llevá batería de sobra. El traslados ida y vuelta desde su hospedaje en el Calafate llegó justo cuando lo necesitábamos. Lo recomiendo sin dudar.

Positive overall
Good, with ups and downs. Including round-trip transfers from your accommodation in El Calafate takes a worry off your hands. The meeting point was well signed and easy to find. The only thing is that the pre trip information could be clearer about the meeting point. Nothing serious, but worth knowing before you book.

Nos encantó
Fue el mejor día de nuestro viaje a El Calafate. En Peineta nos quedamos un buen rato en silencio, mirando. Nos pasaron toda la información por mail el día anterior, muy claro.

É daquelas coisas que a gente lembra anos depois. Em Spegazzini ficamos um tempo em silêncio, só olhando. Fomos em família e todos conseguiram fazer sem problema.

Buena experiencia
Positivo en general, con margen de mejora. Buen guía, correcto y amable. El tramo en camioneta se siente largo. Se puede mejorar, pero no me arrepiento de haberlo hecho.

Vale cada centavo
Simplemente perfecto. El paisaje en Spegazzini no entra en una foto. La naturaleza del lugar te desconecta por completo. La atención previa a la reserva fue muy clara con todas nuestras dudas. Que incluya 5 horas de Navegación en catamarán te saca un problema de encima. Ya lo recomendé a dos amigos que viajan el mes que viene.
