THE SPIRIT OF THE GLACIERS

3 DAYS/ 2 NIGHTS

The Patagonian Ice Field is, after Antarctica, the largest ice cap on the planet. Its glaciers originate at an altitude of only 1500 meters above sea level and descend to 200 meters above sea level, which allows unique access and visualization in the world.

Los Glaciares National Park is a magnificent scenery of forests, lakes, mountains, ice and steppe, with more than 200 glaciers. The Spegazzini Glacier stands out with the great height of its front that reaches 135 meters above sea level, the Upsala Glacier that covers an entire valley with an approximate extension of 765 km2 and a length of 53 km, and the Perito Moreno Glacier, in constant advance, and whose ruptures are an incomparable natural spectacle.

The Spirit of the Glaciers is an expedition that delves into the nature and essence of this Patagonian landscape, sailing aboard the exclusive Santa Cruz Cruise, specially designed for this expedition. The highest comfort and gourmet gastronomy for a memorable experience.
