November is a month excitedly awaited by the local ‘porteños’ and the tourists alike, since they get the chance to come to the city and see one of its natural wonders occur: the blooming of the jacaranda trees. This tree’s blossom was once nearly named Argentina’s National Flower, but the ceibo tree flower won instead after this was submitted to a vote. Nonetheless, the jacaranda flower continues to be Buenos Aires’ flower, and the city turns blue/purple once a year thanks to it.
Who is responsible for the jacaranda expansion? To know the answer, we must go 120 years back in the past to cross paths with the French landscapist Carlos Thays (whose name is today honored in a park in Palermo). He transformed Buenos Aires visual physiognomy and made it what it is today. The city would look completely different and it wouldn’t be the same if it weren’t for Thays. Today, according to the last census, the city is home to 11.000 jacaranda trees.
It is only a short period of time that we have once a year to admire the incredible views of the jacaranda trees coloring the streets; but luckily, weather is extremely nice this time of the year. Everything is inviting us to go for a walk, sunbathe and live our days outside enjoying the fresh air, all meanwhile the jacarandas paint the sky purple blossom for us to admire. Time to enjoy!
This season, new sector is enabled in Los Glaciares National Park in the Spegazzini area, which can only be accessed with the navigation of the Solo Patagonia dealership. This sector will be accessed with the renewed navigation that we will call from now on “TODO GLACIARES” = All Glaciers (to distinguish it from the navigation Rios de Hielo Express, which has no trekking and is shorter).
The “TODO GLACIARES” navigation crosses the Icebergs Canal, visits the front of the Upsala Glacier, gets views of the Dry Glacier, Peineta and Heim, disembarking at the new Spegazzinni Base, from where you have panoramic views of the Glacier Bay. In this shelter you can have lunch, and from there take one of the two trekking trails specially designed to explore the area with incredible views. “TODO GLACIARES” will operate on a daily basis (with return to El Calafate at approximately 5pm) while the alternative of Rios de Hielo Express will do so only on odd days (with return to Fte at approximately 3pm).
To all reservations already confirmed with Rios de Hielo, which at the time of booking did not have the option of this more complete circuit we can change them to TODO GLACIARES without additional charge; unless they express to us in a timely manner that they want to also maintain Ice Rivers, in the case of passengers who need to return earlier or have an outbound flight that same day.
