About Us

We started out seeing cruising as a way to bring our visitors closer to the immensity of Los Glaciares National Park.

The company

National Park concessionaire since 2014

We are Southern Spirit Lago Argentino, a lake cruise company and Los Glaciares National Park concessionaire since 2014.

From the very beginning we have worked with one clear goal: taking visitors from all over the world to some of the most beautiful and fascinating corners of this National Park, giving our best so that every one of our cruises becomes an unforgettable experience. We want everyone who chooses us to feel a unique connection with the Perito Moreno Glacier and the Canal Mayo on Lago Argentino.

Over these years we have grown, with commitment to and respect for the nature around us. We started with one small boat and today we have a fleet of three.

Every one of our cruises is an invitation to admire and discover one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites declared by UNESCO in 1981.
