Marpatag Glaciares Gourmet

Marpatag Glaciares Gourmet invites travelers to experience Patagonia from a privileged perspective, combining adventure, comfort, and refined cuisine in the heart of Los Glaciares National Park. This exclusive full-day navigation on Lake Argentino is far more than a boat tour: it is an eight-hour journey aboard one of the lake’s most elegant vessels, where breathtaking scenery meets personalized service and expert bilingual guidance in Spanish and English.

From the moment the ship departs Puerto La Soledad at Punta Bandera, the landscape unfolds in dramatic fashion. The vessel glides across the immense waters of Lake Argentino, passing through the narrow Boca del Diablo and into vast bays framed by towering mountains, ancient estancias, and soaring condors. Every stretch of the route reveals a new chapter of Patagonia’s untamed beauty.

As the navigation continues along the Spegazzini Channel, guests are treated to unforgettable views of the Seco, Heim, and Spegazzini Glaciers, the latter renowned for being the tallest in the park, with ice walls rising over 130 meters above the water. The experience deepens with a guided landing at Bahía Las Vacas, where a gentle walk introduces travelers to native flora, wildlife, and traces of early settlers, adding a cultural layer to the natural spectacle.

The journey then heads toward the Upsala Channel, offering panoramic views of the vast Upsala Glacier and its floating icebergs. Here, the gourmet experience reaches its peak, with carefully crafted dishes served against a backdrop of drifting ice and endless horizons. Throughout the day, the onboard bar remains available with snacks, beverages, and infusions, ensuring comfort at every moment.

The final highlight is the approach to the Perito Moreno Glacier via the Iceberg Channel, revealing its northern face from a striking and less-seen angle. For those seeking a complete experience, an optional disembarkation allows guests to visit the iconic walkways of Perito Moreno, combining navigation with guided exploration on land before returning to El Calafate.

For travelers looking to elevate the experience even further, the Classic Cabin Premium Salon offers an intimate and exclusive setting for just 16 passengers. Located on the upper deck, this private space features a balcony, dedicated staff, and a chef on board. Throughout the day, guests enjoy refined tastings, a four-course gourmet lunch paired with regional wines, and a closing toast—an experience designed to delight all five senses.

Marpatag Glaciares Gourmet is the perfect choice for those who wish to explore Patagonia’s most iconic glaciers in style, blending adventure, nature, and gastronomy into a single, unforgettable day.
