Calafate
Meet & transfer from Calafate airport to Hotel of
your choice for 3 nights. This afternoon is at your

Day 2 - Perito Moreno Glacier
(B) After breakfast departing from the town of El Calafate
you will see Lake Argentino & Bahia Redonda. Here
observe a large variety of birds & in particular,
black-necked swans, flamingos, wild ducks, & coots.
Yellow broom sedge (coiron) grasses dominate the open
fields as during the first 40 kilometres, you cross
the Patagonian plains.
Entering the National Park, the vegetation is now formed
of different types of trees: ñires, guindos &
lengas. Upon arrival at Glacier Perito Moreno the immensity
of this awesome river of ice is evident. You will have
ample time to leisurely wander the marked walkways that
offer the most stunning views of one of the most magnificent
glaciers on the planet.
You may choose to take the optional boat excursion which
will take visitors within 300 metres of the terminal
face of the glacier, a perspective from where the true
azures & blue hues of the ice formations are evident.
Late afternoon, return to El Calafate & your hotel.
Day 3 - Nautical Safari
(B) An after breakfast pick up from your hotel &
transfer to Punta Bandera, 50 kms from El Calafate for
an excursion by boat on Lake Argentino.
You are likely to encounter enormous icebergs &
certainly will see the Upsala & Spegazzini glaciers,
the largest & the tallest respectively of the glaciers
in the National Park. Normally the boat docks at Bahia
Onelly, a small mirror arm of the lake where countless
numbers of icebergs have formed after breaking off from
the glaciers. Here, there is a resturant where lunch
can be taken.
Late afternoon, return to Punta Bandera & transfer
back to El Calafate.
