Puerto Bandera

The start of the tour was from Puerto Bandera on the Southern shore of the Northern section of the Lago Argentino. We reached the port at around 8:30 am. It was quite cold and freezing in the light rain that was coming down when we reached there. Despite the rain, there was sun shining through from the East. We climbed on to the catamaran and started on our journey into the fjords forming branches from the Lago Argentino. Each branch of the fjords end up in different glacier tongues of the Southern Glacier Field and these were what we were waiting to see on the day. The initial ride took us past the Devil's Throat, a narrow strip of the lake where the land on both the sides juts into the lake forming a small opening into the fjords beyond.Read more
