Trekking in front of Viedma Glacier from El Chalten

We have two daily departures so you can choose between a morning or midday tour. Depending on the time you select, you will approach the offices of the agency located in the center of El Chalten and from there you will depart by bus to the Bahía Túnel port.

Once on board, you will sail South across the bay. The lake’s depth allows for a pleasant cruise near the shoreline, permitting the observation of the mountains Fitz Roy and Huemul. Approximately after 1-hour navigation, during which you will observe large icebergs, you will disembark on a rocky promontory area- facing the Viedma glacier- to start trekking. The trekking on the promontory area will allow you to appreciate the history of the glaciations, the movement of large ice blocks smoothing the rocks, and to acknowledge nature as the main modeler of the landscape that you enjoy today. This promontory area is a terrain rarely seen and it is the ideal point for the Glaciology talks offered by our guides. During this journey you will approach the glacier to observe it from different heights and natural viewpoints, appreciating its immensity and the play of colors. Return to Bahía Túnel for the disembarkation and back to El Chalten by bus.
