Visit the Perito Moreno glacier
Admire a true marvel of nature from panoramic viewing platforms and up close on a short lake cruise.
Draped between Patagonian peaks and rising 60m from an ice-bound arm of Lago Argentino, Perito Moreno is an awe-inspiring sight. It is one of the few glaciers still advancing, and covers an area so vast that the eye struggles to take it all in.
It’s common to see massive hunks of ice calve break off from the glacier and crash into the lake below, forming vivid blue icebergs. You can witness the spectacular show from the walkways and viewing platforms that offer panoramic views of the glacier’s southern flank.
You could also take an hour-long cruise beneath the towering glacier will take you almost within touching distance of its sapphire pinnacles.
