About this activity

Immerse yourself in Patagonia's raw wilderness over 3 days in El Calafate, centred on the iconic Perito Moreno Glacier. This adventure combines close-up glacier encounters by boat, indigenous history via 4x4 exploration, and cave dining under the Southern stars—curated by a 20-year specialist in authentic Argentine experiences.

Venture into the wild heart of Patagonia on this 3-day adventure in El Calafate, where nature’s grandeur unfolds before your eyes.

Witness the awe-inspiring Perito Moreno Glacier, its towering ice walls shifting and creaking. Feel the raw power of the glacier up close on the Nautical Safari Navigation, cruising through the icy waters for a perspective like no other.

But Patagonia is more than just glaciers! Step into the past on the Native Experience, where a 4x4 journey along the shores of Argentine Lake leads you to hidden caves adorned with indigenous rock art. As twilight sets in, dine inside a cave, immersed in history, flavors, and the mystique of the region.

This journey is more than a getaway—it’s an invitation to experience Patagonia in its purest form.
