08:30am Boarding at the private port La Soledad 9:00 a.m. Sailing towards the North Arm. Visit to Escuadra Bay and the Condoreras Wall. The ice blocks, which some know to be three times the size and volume of our boat, will decorate the passage through the Upsala Channel, from where you can see the Upsala Glacier (the third largest glacier in the Southern Patagonian Ice) about 15 km away. Next, you'll head towards the Spegazzini Canal to see several hanging glaciers, including Seco, Heim Sur, and Peinetta. There, you'll take a 30-minute hike through the Patagonian Andean forest and its beaches. Upon returning to the boat, you'll have plenty of time for lunch (you can bring your own food or choose the "with food" option) while continuing the tour until you reach the front of the highest glacier in the National Park: the Spegazzini Glacier (135 meters above sea level). Here you'll have time to take photos and calmly admire so much natural beauty. The María Turquesa Cruise: This new catamaran is built from marine aluminum.
