Descripción del Tour:

The adventure kicks off at 7:30 am from our centrally located hotel in Calafate. As we board the bus, we embark on a 50-kilometer journey through a landscape dotted with ranches. Throughout the ride, our guide will share fascinating insights into the history and functions of these locales.
After a 45-minute drive, we will reach Lake Roca, where we will board a small boat accommodating up to 17 people. This 45-minute sail offers breathtaking views of the iconic Patagonian steppe, beautifully contrasted with the Lengas forests.
Upon disembarking on the southern shore of the lake's South Arm, we'll commence the first segment of our trekking journey: a hike towards Lake Frías. This path leads through an almost untouched area, revealing pristine forests and natural landscapes. Arriving at the lake, we will once again board a small motor boat (zodiacs) to cross it. This sets the stage for the second and most significant part of our trek: the trek to the Glacier Large, located at the national park's southern edge.
After a two-hour trek, we will find ourselves in a stunning location, a valley encircled by glaciers, aptly named the "Glacier Amphitheater."
Here at the amphitheater, we will pause to rest and enjoy lunch with spectacular views of the Grande, Cubo, and Dickson glaciers.
Post-lunch, we will retrace our steps along the same path for our return journey.
Back on the bus heading towards the heart of El Calafate, we will savor a traditional snack featuring Mate, an Argentine beverage akin to tea.
We anticipate arriving back at our hotel around 7 pm.
