Which one is right for you?

If you want to explore less visited glaciers with an expeditionary spirit → I chose May Spirit Trek. Sail to Seno Mayo to see the lesser-known Mayo and Black Glaciers, as well as Upsala and Spegazzini. Includes 2 hours of trekking through pristine Andean-Patagonian forest. Small groups, 12-hour expedition.

If you prefer the most comprehensive navigation of the North Arm at a better price → I chose Todo Glaciares. It's a 9-hour trip from Upsala to Spegazzini, with a 2-hour landing at Spegazzini Base. Bring your own food and enjoy the refuge with its cafeteria.

If you want premium service with gourmet cuisine and to see 3 glaciers → I chose Glaciares Gourmet. Sail Upsala + Spegazzini + Perito Moreno on the Maria Turquesa cruise with gourmet lunch included. Option to disembark via walkways.

If you're looking for an alternative adventure sailing the South Arm → I chose South Glacier Pioneers. You sail to a different glacier (South Glacier) on the opposite arm of the lake, with interpretive trekking and the option of kayaking. Less touristy.
