One of the most impressive experiences on Lake Viedma, combining a scenic boat trip, an easy hike and a close-up encounter with Argentina’s largest glacier.
Your adventure begins with a bus transfer from El Chaltén to Bahía Túnel Port, just 18 km from town. From there, you board the boat and glide across the turquoise waters of Lake Viedma, following the southern shoreline and enjoying stunning views of Mount Huemul towering above the landscape.
After around 40 minutes on the water, you arrive at Cabo de Hornos Bay. Here, you set off on a gentle walk to a natural viewpoint on the peninsula. In front of you, an unforgettable scene unfolds: Iceberg Bay, dotted with drifting ice blocks and framed by the majestic Andes.
Back on the boat, you continue towards the highlight of the day — a close approach to the face of the Viedma Glacier. From the deck, you can admire its immense blue wall and ever-changing textures while your guide shares insights into the history and formation of this ancient giant.
Finally, you sail back to the port and return by bus to El Chaltén, carrying the excitement of an authentic Patagonian experience, where adventure blends seamlessly with breathtaking landscapes.
