Upsala & Onelli Glaciers Navigation


We navigate along Northern Channel of the Argentino Lake, departing from Punta Bandera port, 50 km away from Calafate. We navigate among huge icebergs, resulting from the constant calving of Upsala Glacier, until we reach its front. Afterwards we disembark at Onelli Bay for an 800 mts walk, through a “lengas” woods reaching Onelli Lake, where three glaciers join: Onelli, Bolados and Agassiz, flowing down from the Andes Range. After staying there for about two hours, we continue our navigation along Spegazzini and Heim Sur channels, reaching the glaciers of the same name. We arrive at Punta Bandera Port at about 7:30 pm, continuing with the bus to Calafate.
The ships have a bar service on board (not included). Lunch available at Onelli Restaurant in Onelli Bay (optional, not included).

Full Day Estancia Cristina


The Upsala Glacier is one of the most important within Los Glaciares National Park. A journey to Estancia Cristina is the perfect chance to see the Glacier and have an approach to the lifestyle of the first inhabitants of this remote area.
The Estancia Cristina program is a balanced combination of nature, history and leisure. It starts by sailing the Lago Argentino, surrounded by impressive icebergs and mountains, all the way up to the front of the Upsala Glacier. 
From there we sail to the Estancia arriving at lunchtime. Once in the Estancia visitors can choose between 2 different programs. One involves a relaxed afternoon around the Estancia and another one includes a beautiful hike to a nearby mountain.
Upon arrival the program starts with a delicious and traditional patagonic lunch in the restaurant, which has been built on the base of an old wool drying spot and has a fabulous 360 degrees view.
It continues with a visit to the main house, the chapel and the museum. We discover the lifestyle of the first settlers of the Estancia, and their relation with legendary explorers of the last century.
Another alternative is to reach a panoramic point by hiking to the Carnero Mountain. From there we can admire the mountain chain and its glaciers. The activity includes a lunch box.
