day 1 – El Calafate
After arriving at EOLO on our private transfer, you’ll have some time to relax and unwind. Then, our proposal for the day is a trekking activity organized by the hotel where you’ll get the chance to recognize the flora and fauna of the surroundings. You’ll also have the choice to ride the bicycles at the hotel to enjoy the nature around you or opt for a horseback riding experience too. This day is yours to enjoy! Remember, you have all meals included during your stay here.
Day 2 – El Calafate
Good morning! Be sure to get the fuel needed for a full day outdoors while choosing what to have for breakfast today! You’ll go to the Perito Moreno glacier. Here, we chose to give you two options so you can choose based on your preferences. Both experiences include the visit to the walkways.
1. Minitrekking: a short navigation in front of the glacier and a trekking with crampons accompanied by mountain guides. The ice trek lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes. It’s a unique and unforgettable experience. (From 8 to 65 years old).
2. Big Ice: it starts at the same point as the Minitrekking, with the difference that you practically reach the center of the glacier. The trekking includes two hours of walking through the Andean forest and 3 hours on the glacier. Ideal for adventurous people. (From 18 to 50 years old).
Day 3 – Puerto Natales
Remember, you have all meals included during your stay here.

Discovering Torres del Paine National Park
Torres del Paine is considered the world´s 8th natural wonder.

After a short hike, you’ll reach the closest viewpoint of the glacier, allowing the time and the opportunity to take photos and learn more about glacier formation. Once you return to the vessel, you’ll slowly navigate to the front of the Balmaceda glacier and admire its natural beauty. You’ll continue navigating to a working Estancia, and enjoy a typical Patagonian lunch and horseback ride or trek within Estancia’s land.
