Here are some tips to help you make the most of this incredible adventure and enjoy every moment on board.
1. Book in Advance
Sailing on the Glaciers is one of the most popular activities in El Calafate. We recommend booking in advance to secure your spot and choose the date and time that best suits your itinerary. This way, you can plan your trip without any problems.
2. Wear appropriate clothing
The weather in Patagonia can be changeable and unpredictable. It's essential to dress in layers and wear appropriate clothing to protect yourself from the cold and damp. Don't forget a waterproof jacket or coat, gloves, a hat, a scarf, and comfortable, waterproof footwear. Also, remember to bring sunglasses and sunscreen to protect yourself from glare off the ice.
3. Capture Unforgettable Memories
The beauty of the glaciers and the surrounding landscape is truly breathtaking. We suggest bringing a camera with sufficient battery power and memory card space. A zoom lens will allow you to capture fascinating details from a distance, creating unforgettable memories of your visit. Of course, your cell phone will also be an excellent option for photographing the most incredible landscapes.
4. Enjoy the Spegazzini Refuge
During the voyage, you'll stop at Spegazzini Base, located in the stunning Glacier Bay. Here you can enjoy the modern Spegazzini Refuge, which offers a variety of services to enhance your experience. Don't miss the delicious regional menus, the souvenir shop, and the amenities, including accessible restrooms and a food market.
5. Respect the Natural Environment
Patagonia is a place of unparalleled natural beauty, and it's crucial that all visitors contribute to its preservation. Follow our guides' instructions, don't leave any trash, and avoid getting too close to the local wildlife. Together, we can protect this incredible environment so that future generations can enjoy it too.
6. Take advantage of our accessible facilities
At Todo Glaciares, we've ensured our infrastructure is 100% accessible. If you're traveling with people with reduced mobility, you can rest assured. We have an elevator at Punta Bandera Port, level trails, and accessible restrooms on both the catamarans and at the Spegazzini Refuge, so everyone can enjoy this experience without restrictions.
7. Sail among the icebergs of the Upsala Glacier
One of the most exciting moments of our cruise is when we sail among the icebergs of the Upsala Glacier. These giants of ice float majestically on the water, creating a breathtaking natural spectacle. Have your camera ready to capture this stunning landscape.
8. Learn with Expert Guides
The guides accompanying you are highly trained professionals who will provide valuable information about the geology, history, and ecology of the glaciers and the Patagonian environment. Don't hesitate to ask them questions and take full advantage of their knowledge to enrich your experience.
9. Follow the Safety Instructions
