Today you will depart from Calafate on a full day tour to El Chalten. You will be taken across the
Patagonian steppe and around the Argentino and Viedma Lakes until you get to El Chalten. This village is on the northern margin of Lago Viedma, in the confluence of rivers De las Vueltas and Fitz Roy, in the Los Glaciares National Park. This landscape combines the magic of glaciers, hidden lagoons, estancias, Lake Viedma, and the magnetic presence of mount Fitz Roy. Two hundred people live in this town and it is almost 3 hr from El Calafate. Then, you will take a boat trip to sail across the Viedma Lake. You will sail close to the coast with beautiful sights of the Huemul and Fitz Roy Mounts. The trip will leads you to the front of the Viedma Glacier, with its white and blue ice walls 40 m high. Then, you will disembark and start a hike towards the glacier. Once there, you will put on your crampons so as to walk on top of the glacier. This trekking is 2.30 hours long. After stopping for lunch, you will board on the boat again, go back to El Chalten and will be transferred to the hotel. Overnight in Chalten.
