Gourmet experience among Glaciers | Kallpa I Tour Operator

Those of us who are world travellers know how to combine sensations, aromas and blend the 5 senses to live unique experiences. Being a traveller is not about collecting destinations but to treasure experiences and to share them with other generations. One of those is the Gourmet Experience among Glaciers.

We´ll live the experience on the Leal Cruise Ship that offers the best Full Day option for those travellers that wish to see the Glaciers Spegazzini and Upsala (momentarily with its Ice floes Barrier) or the Perito Moreno Glacier at a closer range.

With the Gourmet Glaciers Experience we suggest navigating the waters of the Lago Argentino in search of the Spirit of the Glaciers. Ice walls higher than 50 meters, thousand years ices of a deep blue colour and majestic icebergs are some of the sights we´ll contemplate during our trip. To see the wide range of colours shown by these landscapes is something very special. Nature at its best. The particular colours of the water in the lake, the breaking of the ice or the rotation of the icebergs that we´ll be able to watch.

This itinerary leads us to the most inhospitable places in the National Park Los Glaciares:

We start our trip heading Northwest, sailing past Punta Avellaneda and Boca del Diablo (the narrowest pass on this lake, with an approximate width of 800 meters). After sailing for two hours, the succession of ice floes in the most varied colours and shapes heralds the proximity of the Upsala Glacier.

We go on sailing southbound through the Lago Argentino and then we turn onto the Spegazzini Channel to reach the Glacier with the same name. The navigation let us get very close to the Glacier giving us a stunning view of the 80 and 135 meters high ice walls over the lake level.

Lunch is served while we marvel at these wonderful views and at sunset the Cruise Ship Leal reaches Puesto de las Vacas, a very quiet bay inside the Spegazzini Channel, where the motors are silenced and where the guests can go for an interesting walk coordinated by a team of Guides. During this stop it´s possible to appreciate different views of the Spegazzini Glacier. The return is along the Brazo Norte and we dock at the Private Pier La Soledad between 06 or 06:30 PM.

The Glaciares Gourmet Experience is an ideal programme for those travellers that wish to visit the National Park Los Glaciares in an exclusive way. On board the Cruise Ship Leal services are personalized to suit the needs and interests of each guest.
