Upon reaching Puerto Bahía Túnel, you'll board a vessel for a stunning cruise across Lake Viedma, surrounded by the brilliant turquoise waters and the snow-capped peaks of the Huemul Massif. During your journey, sail among icebergs that have broken away from the glacier, as your guide provides insights into their formation and history.
