Upon arrival, we enter the port of Lake Argentino located at the southern end of it. There we embark and sail for approximately 50 minutes watching the Huemul and Crestón glaciers to disembark for 15 minutes at the northern tip of the lake.

​

Then we navigate to the Vespignani Glacier area, which is located approximately in the middle of the lake. Once there, and always under the supervision of a person in charge of the activity, they can choose to walk on foot one of the three perfectly marked trails of the Vespignani Glacier Reserve according to the difficulty and effort they wish to make.

The most demanding path, through a steep slope of 150m, lasts approximately 45 minutes at a slow pace, and puts us at the foot of the Vespignani Glacier offering an incredible height view of the north face of the imposing Fitz Roy hill.

​

As a second option, the intermediate path takes us with a lighter and more constant slope, and in just 15 minutes to an outstanding panoramic point overlooking the fabulous glacier.

They can also opt for or complement the other routes by breaking the interpretive path that visits the forested and coastal area of ​​the reserve without ascents.
