This experience combines navigation and trekking to discover the great Vespignani Glacier, in the Lago del Desierto provincial reserve.
The activity begins with the pick up from your hotel in El Calafate. We travel 37 kilometers along a gravel road until we reach the Punta Sur pier. We begin to navigate the Lago del Desierto for 30 minutes, enjoying the views of the Huemul and Crestón Glaciers.
We disembark in the Vespignani Glacier sector, where 4 trails of different difficulties await you. In total, you have 2 free hours to visit the ones you like the most.
The Red trail, with a 200-meter drop and 2 km of travel, brings you closer to the foot of the Great Vespignani Glacier in an hour, adding an incredible view of the north face of Cerro Fitz Roy.
The Yellow trail, with a drop of only 50 meters in 1 km, with a view of the Great Vespignani Glacier.
The Green trail is ideal to complement the other routes.
