Day 1
El Calafate to Lake Argentino
Your hotel pickup in El Calafate takes you to Puerto La Soledad, where you'll board the Santa Cruz at 6:00 PM. The ship sets sail across Lake Argentino heading toward Puesto de las Vacas, a historic settler's post where you'll get a sense of how early pioneers lived in this remote region of Patagonia. After exploring the post and learning about the area's pioneering history, you'll return to the vessel for a gourmet dinner before settling into your cabin for the night.

My client reported that the overall tour experience was positive and generally well-organized. The hotels were particularly excellent. The tour operators was fantastic. He mentioned that he may have missed some important tours during the itinerary. My client expressed a preference for full-day excursions rather than the half-day tours that were booked and paid for. He noted that the full-day excursions provided a more comprehensive experience, which he felt justified the additional cost. Upon arrival, his pickup time had not been confirmed, and he was unsure whom to contact, resulting in an unnecessary two-hour wait. However, after the first day, the pickup times were more efficiently organized. Additionally, my client observed that there were very few English-speaking guides available. On occasions when the designated English guide was sick or unavailable, he was either required to join a Spanish-speaking guide’s tour or forfeit the excursion altogether.

We had an excellent experience from start to finish. They offered a great selection of hotels, all comfortable and well-located, making my stay enjoyable. The tour options were diverse and well-planned, allowing me to explore key attractions without feeling rushed. One of the standout aspects of the experience was their customer service—responses were always quick, both before and during the tour, ensuring all my queries were addressed promptly. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to make the experience enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend for anyone looking for a well-organized and stress-free travel experience.
