Our navigation will take you to know one of the most beautiful places in Los Glaciares National Park, which only a few people have the privilege of accessing: the May Sine of Lake Argentino. The Seno Mayo (or Brazo Mayo), is one of the wettest sectors of the National Park, that is why the vegetation that can be seen during the two walks (which we will do in the Patagonian Andean forest) is totally different from the one that observes in other places Park. The "Mayo Spirit Trek" is the perfect combination of hiking in the forest, overlooking waterfalls, rivers, hanging glaciers and visiting the Perito Moreno glacier (navigation + walkways). Suitable for all audiences, with low difficulty walks, it makes our passengers happy with our excursion.

  • 1st landing: BAHIA TORO: We will disembark at Bahía Toro and, accompanied by our guide, we will make an interpretive walk through the Patagonian Andean forest (composed of cherries, cinnamon, lengas and ñires). We will arrive at a copy of centenary cherry (baptized "El Abuelo"), which has a trunk of more than three meters in diameter. Then, we will go through the forest until we reach a waterfall, it gives rise to a beautiful stream. The guide will give us an interpretive talk of that area. From the coast of the lake, we can observe the hanging glaciers of Cerro Mayo and Cerro Negro. We will return to the boat and, in just 15 minutes more navigation, we will arrive at our next stop ...
  • 2nd landing: CERRO NEGRO We will disembark at Cerro Negro and, together with the boat's guide, we will begin a walk entering the Patagonian Andean forest. During our walk, we will go along a river that will take us to the Cerro Negro (proper). We will arrive a few meters from the base of said Hill and (from there) we can contemplate the wonderful Black Glacier. This glacier is a "hanging" glacier, this means that it is located on the mountain, "hangs" from it. From it, a large number of waterfalls are born, which give rise to the river that we were bordering throughout our walk. We will stay for a while in this place, observing the incredible landscape around us. Then we will return to the boat that will take us to our next destination ...
  • 3Er disembarkation: GLACIAR PERITO MORENO: Returning with navigation, we will leave the Seno Mayo to return to navigate the Canal de los Témpanos. In a few minutes, we will begin to see (at the end of the Canal) the north wall of the Perito Moreno glacier. Upon arriving there we will make a slow navigation in front of said wall, during which we can appreciate its height, its extension, and (if luck accompanies us) we can see some detachment. We will also navigate in front of the area where (every certain number of years) the phenomenon of the glacier rupture occurs, a fact that has given it international fame. Then we will disembark in Puerto Moreno to go (in the company of our guide) to the catwalks, which are located in front of the Perito Moreno glacier. Once there, we will have free time to walk and observe the glacier from the different balconies. At the time set by the guide, we will return to Puerto Moreno to embark again and return to our last stop, the Puerto de Punta Bandera.

The Perito Merino Glacier is a Don't Miss destination if in Patagonia. I loved this particular excursion because of the 3 landings. There is a boardwalk for viewing the glacier, which is one of the landings and is available by bus from El Calafate. However, the other 2 landings were worth thi...

Para no perdersela!!! Las vistas de la pared norte del Perito Moreno son impresionantes; asi como la pared de piedra imponente sobre la que se deslizan arroyos desde el glaciar de la montaña.
