Glaciares Gourmet: Luxury Sailing on the Patagonian Glaciers

Discover Patagonia in style. Glaciares Gourmet is not just a simple boat excursion; it is a full day cruise aboard the exclusive catamaran Maria Turquoise, designed for those who are looking for comfort, gastronomy and the best panoramic views of the Los Glaciares National Park.

You will set sail from the privileged La Soledad Private Port (Punta Bandera) to navigate the Upsala Channel and the Spegazzini Channel, where you will admire the ice giants up close: the immense Upsala Glacier and the majestic Spegazzini Glacier (with walls up to 135 meters high).

What distinguishes this experience is the exclusive disembarkation in Las Vacas Post for an interpretive hike away from the crowds, and the passage through the Canal de los Témpanos to view the north wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier while enjoying a gourmet lunch on board.
