Details of Day Tours

The tour begins with passengers being picked up from their hotels in downtown El Calafate to travel to the starting point of the excursion. The first stop is at Puerto Punta Bandera, where we will board a modern boat that will take us to the Estancia area to begin the tour.

After disembarking, 4x4 vehicles specially equipped for this type of terrain will be waiting for us to begin a 9.5 km journey through Cordón Feruglio, along a mountain road which, until recently, was covered by glaciers. During the trip we will enjoy observing landscapes of great geological attraction until we reach the Continental Ice Refuge.

From there we will take a walk of approximately 20 minutes until we reach the Upsala Viewpoint, located at 550 meters above sea level, from where we can appreciate the Guillermo Lake and the imposing front Eastern Upsala Glacier, the Southern Patagonian Ice, and the Murallón and Don Bosco Hills.

After contemplating from the lookout, we will begin another trek to descend to the Cañadón de los Fósiles, an area where a large concentration of fossils can be seen, vestiges of the last marine ingression and which have been uncovered by glacial action.

Finally, we will go through a final stretch to reach the Estancia Cristina Valley, from where we will begin the return to the boat that will take us back to Puerto Punta Bandera, and from there, to the passengers` hotels, ending the tour.
