The boat slips away from Punta Bandera at first light and the lake-push cools around you; lenga forest leans toward the water as if to watch the hull pass. Within an hour you’re in the Seno Mayo arm of Lago Argentino, disembarking at Bahía Toro for a short interpretive walk (about 700 m) through mossed trunks and beetling ferns to a waterfall. The forest here is wetter, greener — the landscape seems to breathe.

Dress in windproof layers
Patagonian weather shifts quickly; a breathable windproof shell and insulating mid-layer keep you comfortable on boat decks and forest trails.
Bring waterproof footwear
Trails are damp and river-adjacent; waterproof hiking boots with good grip reduce cold and slipping on roots and rocks.
Carry snacks & water
Although lunch is on board, bring extra water and high-energy snacks for the hikes—the day runs about 11 hours total.
Use binoculars and a camera with zoom
Wildlife and distant icefalls are best seen with optics; keep camera straps secure on the boat.
Waterproof hiking boots
Keeps feet dry on wet forest trails and riverbanks.
Windproof/waterproof jacket
