Navigation All Glaciers through Upsala, Spegazzini, and Spegazzini Refuge

Description

❄️ All Glaciers: the journey of the white colossi

  • Sail among ice giants and experience Patagonia from within

    The ice cracks in the distance. An iceberg breaks off and falls, as if the landscape were breathing. The boat advances among floating blocks that shine in deep blue, and you are there, in silence, understanding that there are places that are not told:     they are lived.

    This is how the All Glaciers Experience begins, an unforgettable journey through Los Glaciares National Park, where you will sail among active glaciers, explore natural viewpoints, and feel the true scale of Patagonia.

    From Puerto Punta Bandera, you set sail towards     Upsala Channel, sailing among icebergs and ice walls that exceed 130 meters in height. Then, the boat reaches Peineta Glacier and Spegazzini, the tallest in the park.

    At     Spegazzini Refuge, you disembark to walk trails with privileged views, breathe at a different pace, have lunch if you want, or simply sit and contemplate what very few have the privilege of seeing in person.

"I didn't know silence could be so loud. I had never felt so small... or so alive." — Diego, Colombia
