🧊 VIEDMA GLACIER: BOATING AND HIKING

Cruise through turquoise waters, hike with the Andes in the background, and get up close to one of Patagonia’s great glaciers. 🚤🏔️

If you’re in El Chaltén and want to enjoy an experience that combines boating, hiking, and incredible scenery, this could be one of those trips you’ll never forget.

🚤 It all starts at Lake Viedma

The adventure begins at Puerto Bahía Túnel, just 18 km from El Chaltén.

From there, we board a boat to cruise the turquoise waters of Lake Viedma, surrounded by mountains, sky, and ice.

As we sail, we’ll cruise along the lake’s southern shore while views of the Huemul Massif—one of the main highlights of this landscape—come into view.

🥾 A hike with breathtaking views

After about 40 minutes on the water, we arrive at Cabo de Hornos Bay.

Here, we’ll leave the boat for a while to take an easy hike to a scenic overlook.

The reward awaits at the top:

🌊 Bahía de los Témpanos
🧊 Ice blocks floating on the lake
🏔️ The Andes Mountains in the background

A landscape to walk through slowly, look around, and let Patagonia work its magic.

🧊 And now… the Viedma Glacier

We return to the boat to get closer to the star of the show:

the Viedma Glacier.

From the boat, you’ll be able to admire its enormous ice front, its bluish hues, and the deep crevasses that run through the glacier.

And as you get closer, the guide will tell you about its history, geology, and evolution, so you can better understand this ice giant that has been shaping the landscape for thousands of years.
