From the Port of Punta Bandera, located 47 km from El Calafate, we start sailing through the North Arm of Lake Argentino. A few minutes after leaving, we crossed a natural funnel known as the Devil’s Mouth to the Upsala Canal. There we will navigate around large icebergs that emerge from the front of the Upsala Glacier. Then, we enter the sector of the lake known as Canal Spegazzini and in which we can enjoy observing the impressive Dry Glacier. From there we continue sailing to the front of the Spegazzini Glacier where we will also see the Heim Sur and Peineta glaciers. It is at this time that we prepare to disembark at the Spegazzini base and begin the visit to the area by walking through a beautiful path in the forest, until we arrive at the Spegazzini Refuge. This 300-meter path is accessible and when we go through it, we stop at stations and viewpoints with views of the entire Los Glaciares Bay.
