Marpatag Glaciares Gourmet

Enjoy a Patagonia exclusive and refined glacier experience with Marpatag Glaciares Gourmet, a full-day navigation that perfectly blends adventure, comfort, and fine lunch in the heart of Los Glaciares National Park. More than a traditional boat tour, this is an eight-hour journey aboard one of Lake Argentino’s most elegant vessels, where breathtaking landscapes meet personalized service and expert bilingual guidance in Spanish and English.

.

Your experience begins at Puerto La Soledad (Punta Bandera), located approximately 47 km from El Calafate, where you’ll embark on a scenic navigation across the vast waters of Lake Argentino. From the very first moments, the landscape unfolds dramatically as the vessel sails through the narrow Boca del Diablo and into expansive bays surrounded by towering mountains, historic estancias, and soaring condors.

.

As the journey continues along the Spegazzini Channel, you’ll witness extraordinary views of the Seco, Heim, and Spegazzini Glaciers, the latter being the tallest in the park, with ice walls rising more than 130 meters above the water. This section offers some of the most impressive and photogenic scenery in Patagonia.

.

The experience deepens with a guided landing at Bahía Las Vacas, where a gentle walk introduces you to the region’s native flora, wildlife, and traces of early settlers, adding a rich cultural dimension to the natural spectacle.

.

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

.

The final highlight is the approach to the iconic Perito Moreno Glacier via the Iceberg Channel, revealing its lesser-seen northern face from a unique perspective. For those seeking a more complete experience, an optional disembarkation allows you to explore the famous walkways, 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 an onboard chef. Guests enjoy refined tastings, a four-course gourmet lunch paired with regional wines, and a closing toast, creating a truly sensory and memorable experience.

Marpatag Glaciares Gourmet is the perfect choice for those who wish to explore Patagonia’s most iconic glaciers in style and sophistication, combining nature, gastronomy, and comfort into one unforgettable journey.
