The Spirit of the Glaciers is a two days / one night program that includes:
· Two days navigation on "Lago Argentino" enjoying the spectacular Upsala, Spegazzini and Perito Moreno Glaciers.

Navigation Route

Pre-embarkment optional: It is possible to pre-embark the night before to the regular program at 7 p.m.. This extra night includes dinner on board.

Embark: Mon - Wed - Fri 
Transfer from El Calafate to Puerto Bandera (50 km) at 8 AM. After boarding the crew is introduced and an informative talk is given. At 9 a.m. the boat departs heading north to Punta Avellaneda across the "Brazo Norte" of "Lago Argentino". The first icebergs to appear indicate the closeness to Upsala Glacier, one of the largest in the national park, with a width of almost 7 km. In the Canal de las Americas, lunch is served while enjoying a beautiful view.

Night aboard: Framed by the colors of the sunset, passengers will admire the Spegazzini glacier, a large ice river that descends through a rocky slope falling over the lake, emphasizing its high walls. 
At "Puerto Las Vacas", we anchor and passengers can gather around the fire to share a drink before dinner. A clear night can be ideal to observe the stars.

Disembark: Tue - Thu - Sat
After a delicious breakfast, passengers cruise across the "Canal de los Tempanos" up to Bahia Alemana where lunch is served. The craft continues its navigation until it reaches Perito Moreno Glacier, where awe-inspiring chunks of ice of all shapes and sizes crumble, causing amazement and delight. The exclusiveness of being there at the right moment, with no other audience than the passengers of "Leal", is the greatest reward. 
Return to Puerto Bandera. Disembark at 5 p.m. and transfer to El Calafate.
