Glide past the towering ice walls of the Upsala, Spegazzini, and Perito Moreno glaciers, and soak in breathtaking views of hidden bays, cascading waterfalls, and remote glacial valleys. With gourmet cuisine, personalised service, and a first-class onboard experience, this journey is designed to immerse you in the magic of Patagonia with all five senses.
Your day begins with a morning transfer from your hotel in El Calafate to Puerto La Soledad, where you’ll board the María Turquesa cruise. Setting off northwest, you’ll sail past Punta Avellaneda and Boca del Diablo before reaching the first highlight of the day—the Upsala Glacier. As floating icebergs appear in mesmerising shapes and shades of blue, you’ll admire the glacier from a safe distance.
Continuing south, you’ll enter the Spegazzini Channel, where the majestic Spegazzini Glacier awaits. Here, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking close-up views of its colossal ice walls towering between 80 and 135 metres above the lake.
After savouring a gourmet lunch on board, you’ll disembark at Puesto de las Vacas for a gentle guided walk to explore a historic settlers’ post.
The adventure then takes you through the Canal de los Témpanos to the grand finale—the Perito Moreno Glacier. Witness its sheer scale, striking formations, and dazzling colours up close. If fortune favours you, you might even see ice calving into the water, an unforgettable spectacle of nature’s raw power.
As the María Turquesa begins its return to Puerto La Soledad in Punta Bandera, your transfer will be waiting to take you back to El Calafate, marking the perfect end to this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
