🚢 Navigation on Lake Viedma
The navigation kicks off at Puerto Bahía Túnel, situated 18 km from El Chaltén. As we set sail southward, we stay close to the shoreline to capture exceptional views of the majestic Huemul Massif.
After about 40 minutes of sailing, we reach Cape Horn Bay. Here, we disembark for a gentle trek to a scenic viewpoint on the Cape Horn Peninsula. From this vantage point, enjoy breathtaking views of Iceberg Bay, where icebergs drift by, having broken off from the glacier.
Following the trek, we board the boat again for an up-close encounter with the Viedma Glacier, the largest glacier in Los Glaciares National Park. This unforgettable experience offers a direct interaction with the Patagonian ice.
