San Rafael Lagoon, the Patagonia Glaciers: The Patagonian Ice Fields are some of the oldest in the world. From the air the glaciers resemble two enormous lakes of ice that fill several mountain valleys with thousands of feet of ice and glacier. South of Puerto Aisén, the San Rafael Glacier flows westward to the sea where it calves into the San Rafael Lagoon. The resulting intense blue icebergs of ten-thousand year old ice drift slowly across the San Rafael Lagoon, while native penguins and sea-lions swim playfully in their midst. The hotel's own boat travels to San Rafael lagoon regularly so that our guests can experience the glaciers of Patagonia. You will have the opportunity to board rubber zodiac boats and, with experienced guides, motor between the ice to approach the glacier itself.
