You will board the boat "La Certeza", with a capacity of 14 passengers, at the Bahía Exploradores dock, where you’ll begin the Lake San Rafael Glacier Navigation in the Aysén region. You’ll explore the final stretch and delta of the Exploradores River, a magnificent landscape that you can enjoy while having breakfast on the boat. After 2 hours of navigation and already inside the Lake San Rafael National Park, you’ll have the chance to rest and, weather permitting, disembark for a 30-minute round-trip walk to the ruins of Hotel Ofqui. Then, you’ll continue the navigation towards the San Rafael Glacier wall, one of the largest glaciers in the Northern Patagonian Ice Field. There, you’ll admire the floating icebergs and, if you’re lucky, witness part of the glacier wall breaking off. You might also spot a leopard seal on the ice. Lunch will be served with a view of the glacier, creating an unforgettable memory, and the tour will end with whiskey or homemade liqueur served with ancient ice. Finally, you’ll begin the return journey to the dock, where the activity ends.
