Full Day Chalten Adventure Viedma

Aventura Viedma Full Day is the ideal choice for those looking to spend a full day in El Chalten, departing from El Calafate. The itinerary combines a scenic drive along Route 40—with a stop at the historic Parador La Leona—with a boat tour and a visit to El Chaltén, the national capital of trekking, including an easy hike to Chorrillo del Salto. It’s a well-rounded itinerary that lets you explore some of the region’s most iconic landscapes in a single day.

7:00 a.m. – Hotel pickup
The day begins in El Calafate, where we’ll depart from your hotel by bus for Bahía Túnel, located on the shores of Lake Viedma, very close to the town of El Chaltén. During the trip, passengers can enjoy panoramic views of the Patagonian steppe and the hills that signal our approach to the mountainous region.
10:30 a.m. – Boarding at Puerto Bahía Túnel
We begin a boat tour on Lake Viedma. During the cruise, the boat navigates around icebergs that have broken off from the glacier and approaches its imposing ice walls.

🚢 Cruise in Cabo de Hornos Bay
During the tour, we’ll take a short walk to Cabo de los Hornos Bay, a scenic spot offering a spectacular view of the glacier and the lake—ideal for taking photos and enjoying the tranquility of the surroundings.

🚢 Cruise off Glacier Viedma
Back on board, we’ll enjoy a packed lunch served during the cruise, accompanied by breathtaking views of the Viedma Glacier, the largest in Los Glaciares National Park. This experience combines adventure with comfort, allowing you to appreciate the grandeur of the landscape in a relaxed and unique setting.
2:30 PM – Return to the Port
Once the cruise ends, we’ll return to the port and continue our road trip to El Chaltén, where our guide will accompany the group on a visit to one of the town’s most iconic attractions, the Chorrillo del Salto—a waterfall surrounded by Andean forest that’s easily accessible and stunningly beautiful, making it the perfect way to end the day with a moment of connection with nature.
Return to El Calafate
Once the visit is over, we’ll head back to El Calafate, thus completing a day that combines the best of adventure, scenery, and the Patagonian experience.
