Estancia Cristina Navigation

Operable from October to April

In an almost magical atmosphere, ice blocks floating adrift and impressive landscapes complete this unforgettable experience of full contact with Nature. Sailing out of Puerto Bandera, only 50 km away from El Calafate, a modern and comfortable ship will take us to see the best views of the occidental front of Upsala glacier, the second largest glacier in South America, located in Los Glaciares National Park. We will then sail the Cristina Canal to disembark at the ranch bearing the same name.

There, we will enjoy a relaxing walk until reaching the Caterina River. Surrounded by an unforgettable beauty, we will visit the old shearing house, now turned into a museum, the Chapel, and the heart of this old Patagonic ranch.

Upsala (All Glaciers) Navigation tour

Available from September to April every day. From May to August, every other day.

At Los Glaciares National Park, land of the ice giants, silence prevails. This almost magical atmosphere is interrupted from time to time by the slow thawing happening at any corner of this impressive ice mass. We will sail out of Puerto Bandera, only 50 km away from El Calafate, and navigate the northern branch of Lago Argentino.

Among enormous blue ice blocks floating adrift after falling off from Upsala Glacier, the second largest glacier in South America. We will reach the front of the glacier. On our way back, we will admire Spegazzini glacier, amazing for its dimensions and outstanding beauty.
