El Calafate: Full Day to Viedma Glacier and Chorrillo del Salto
Overview
Discover the Viedma Glacier from the water on a full-day adventure that goes far beyond a classic El Chaltén excursion. Leaving from El Calafate, you'll travel through the Patagonian steppe, with a stop at the historic La Leona Roadhouse, before reaching Bahía Túnel to board your boat toward the largest glacier in Los Glaciares National Park. Sail close to the impressive Viedma Glacier, taking in spectacular views of ice walls and floating icebergs. In the afternoon, the journey continues to El Chaltén, the trekking capital of Argentina, where you'll have free time to explore the village before an easy walk to the beautiful Chorrillo del Salto waterfall, surrounded by native forest. This is the perfect option for travelers who want to experience Patagonia beyond hiking, combining nature, comfort, and a truly unique glacier experience in a single day.
