The tour begins with passenger pick-up in El Calafate, using a regular service with a bilingual Spanish-English guide who provides information about the route, the natural environment, and the excursion in general. The transfer is to Los Glaciares National Park, to the South Glacier Pier, located on the South Arm of Lake Argentino.
From there, the journey begins along the entire southern arm of Lake Argentino, gradually venturing into the Andes Mountains. Upon disembarking, the first trek (approximately 2 km) begins, traversing a lenga forest with an initial ascent to a natural viewpoint overlooking Lake Frías, before descending to its shore.
The crossing of Lake Frías is made in an open semi-rigid inflatable boat, lasting approximately 10 to 15 minutes. From the opposite shore, the second trek (approximately 4.5 km) begins, traversing forest, glacial valley, and moraines until reaching Laguna Frías Superior (Upper Lake Frías).
The trek culminates in a natural amphitheater formed by the Grande, Cubo, and Dickson glaciers, remnants of the ancient Frías Glacier. It is a pristine, expansive, and unique environment. There, you’ll have free time to admire the scenery and enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the glaciers, weather permitting. Otherwise, lunch will be served at the dome-shaped shelter near Lake Frías.
After the experience, the return journey follows the same route, arriving back in El Calafate at sunset.
