The glacier wall is not the only spectacle of nature, because as you approach the wall, the icebergs floating in the lake are larger, with very different shapes and colors.
In addition, the crew will offer you a pisco sour or a drink on board at no additional cost.
After the navigation, you will return to the pier, and again you will take a short walk along the Grey beach to the Lago Grey Hotel.
