Private tour to the LARGEST Glacier in Argentina + El Chaltén
Discover two of Patagonia’s most iconic destinations on a full-day private tour from El Calafate. This experience combines a tour of the mythical Route 40, a sailing on Lake Viedma overlooking the stunning Viedma Glacier and free time to discover El Chaltén, the National Capital of Trekking. The adventure starts with the transfer from your accommodation in El Calafate. During the trip you will visit the vastness of the Patagonian steppe, stopping at the historic Parador La Leona and at different panoramic points of Lake Viedma. When we arrive at Bahía Túnel we will embark to navigate Lake Viedma and approach the largest glacier in continental Argentina. From the water you can admire its imposing ice walls, floating ice floes and the vastness of the South Patagonian Ice Field. Then we will make a visit to the village of El Chaltén, where we will make a short walk to know the Chorrillo del Salto Waterfall.
Take an unforgettable Patagonian adventure from El Calafate! Travel Route 40 to Tunnel Bay Port and navigate the turquoise waters of Lake Viedma with breathtaking views of the Huemul Massif. Enjoy a gentle hike to a panoramic viewpoint and marvel at the imposing Viedma Glacier, the largest in Argentina.

Sail close to the impressive Viedma Glacier, taking in spectacular views of ice walls and floating icebergs. In the afternoon, the journey continues to El Chaltén, the trekking capital of Argentina, where you'll have free time to explore the village before an easy walk to the beautiful Chorrillo del Salto waterfall, surrounded by native forest. This is the perfect option for travelers who want to experience Patagonia beyond hiking, combining nature, comfort, and a truly unique glacier experience in a single day.
