We departure from El Calafate to Punta Bandera Port to embark at the private dock ¨La Soledad¨. The Navigation starts heading north-west, Sailing in front of Avellaneda Peninsula and crossing through boca del Diablo, the narrowest part of the lake with 800 mts width.
After two hours of navigation, the series of icebergs, of the most varied colors and shapes, anticipates the proximity of Upsala glacier. If the weather conditions are good, we will observe the Upsala glacier at the distance. We continue navigating Lago Argentino towards the South, taking the Canal Spegazzini in order to reach the glacier with the same name. The navigation allows us to get closer to the glacier, which has front walls between 80 and 135 meters (262 – 443 feet) above lake level. Gourmet lunchbox is served while admiring this stunning landscape. Close to the afternoon, the Leal cruise will arrive at Puesto de Las Vacas (an extremely quiet bay in the Canal Spegazzini), where its engines will be stopped to let passengers share an amusing walk coordinated by our team of guides. In this stop, it is possible to see amazing panoramic views. Once onboard, we will navigate in front of the north face of the Perito Moreno Glacier, and get back to the boarding dock La Soledad at 6:00/ 6:30 PM.
