Sailing among glaciers
Get on board the excitement of watching the ice from the water in Los Glaciares National Park.
The boats are about to set sail. Get on board. The province of Santa Cruz offers you a different view of the glaciers. Choose the best option for you to enjoy. Do you know the "Moreno Spirit" tour? It starts in Puerto Moreno, in the Canal de los Témpanos, and takes you to the northern wall of the mythical Perito Moreno Glacier. Discover its fracture zone, the height of its walls and the impact of its detachments.
Would you like to go on a seven-hour tour? Choose the "Todo Glaciares" tour: by the north branch of the Argentine Lake, get close to the Upsala and Spegazzini glaciers, sail among icebergs along the line of icebergs, go ashore and enjoy the walks. And if you want to watch unparalleled views, choose the "Mayo Spirit Trek" tour, the perfect combination of sailing and walking around the forest. Watch waterfalls, rivers, hanging glaciers and a privileged view of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
