The Viedma Boat Tour excursion, in El Chalten area, offers a unique experience in front of the Viedma Glacier, the largest in Argentina, sailing across Lake Viedma with views of the Huemul Massif, trekking to a panoramic viewpoint in Iceberg Bay and taking a boat ride up close to the imposing front of the glacier. The hike to Iceberg Bay is a unique experience.
If you book the tour with transfer from El Calafate, we will pick you up from your hotel at 7:00 a.m. and take you to Tunnel Bay Port, from where the boat departs at 11:00 a.m. If you have your own vehicle, you must get to Tunnel Bay Port at 10:30 a.m., located at 18 km from the city of El Chalten.
The first part of the excursion heads towards Cape Horn Bay and lasts 40 minutes, offering views of the Huemul Massif. Upon reaching the bay, you will disembark for a low-difficulty trek to a spectacular vantage point on the Cape Horn Peninsula, from where you can see the coast of Iceberg Bay.
Upon returning from the trek, you will board again and head towards the front of the Viedma Glacier to begin the second part of the excursion. At this point, you will marvel with views of the front of Argentina's largest glacier. Then, you will return to Tunnel Bay Port and the city of El Chalten after having visited a little-known area of Los Glaciares National Park.
