We had a catamaran cruise through the Upsala arm of Lago Argentino and saw many icebergs and glaciers.

After arriving at Estancia Cristina, we took 4x4s and drove to the Lago Guillermo viewpoint of the Upsala Glacier. It was about a 20-minute walk on uneven terrain, some of it rather challenging, but the destination was entirely worth it. The beautiful blue lake was framed by the mountains and the glacier.

We returned to the Estancia Cristina for lunch followed by a demonstration of making mate tea and a historical presentation of the estancia. We sailed back to Puerto Bandera and drove back to our hotel for dinner.
