Mayo Spirit Trek

The glaciers of Mayo Mount and Negro Mount are located in Mayo channel in Lago Argentino   at Los Glaciares National Park. The only way to reach them is by sailing along the lake. Starting at Argentino dock, we sail along the De los Témpanos channel and we access Mayo channel of Lago Argentino.

We disembark at Toro Bay. Accompanied by a guide, we start a walk through the Andean-Patagonian forest, where we will see cherry and cinnamon trees, lengas and ñires until reaching a 500-year-old cherry tree, which has a trunk of more than three meters in diameter.

Then, we walk across the forest until reaching a stream fed by a waterfall, originated due to landslide, where we will be able to observe a lime rock formation of approximately 180 meters high and 100 meters wide. We stay here until we return to the sailing boat that will take us to our next stop.

Starting at Toro Bay, we sail along Mayo channel in Lago Argentino  and observe the glaciers of Mayo Mount and the mountain glacier of Negro Mount.

After disembarking, and accompanied by a guide, we start a 1 km walk towards the Andean-Patagonian forest. We will follow a stream that will lead us to a stonewall from where we can observe the mountain Glacier and where we will be amazed by the 360° views of the landscape, including Mayo Mount and Blanco Mount.

We stay for some time at this spot before going back to the sailing boat, which will take us to the north face of Perito Moreno Glacier. We will disembark at Moreno floating dock, situated at the foot of the balconies, to enjoy the view from the different walkways, and finally we will return to El Calafate according to the itinerary of each passenger.
