Itinerary and highlights
The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the most beautiful and emblematic landscapes in Argentine Patagonia.
Its immense ice surface passes from Argentina to Chile in a unique landscape. Visiting the Glacier National Park is a must-see experience for anyone visiting the region.
We left the hotel in El Calafate early in the morning towards the Glacier National Park.
It is 80km with Lake Argentino always in view. Along the way, we can follow the transition of the typical landscape of the region that migrates from the steppe to the Patagonian forests and woodlands, with its characteristic trees, such as lengas and ñires, and their beautiful flowers with intense colors.
On the way, the guide tells us about the region's fauna and flora, while we enjoy this beautiful landscape.
Arriving at the park, we have time to observe the Perito Moreno Glacier from the front, through the various walkways.
We see the beautiful blue tone of this immense glacier and we take the opportunity to photograph it from a wider angle of view, observing how it rises from the lake to the top of the mountains.
There are 4.7km of walkways that we can walk through calmly, taking advantage of all the angles of the glacier.
Those who wish can add the “Nautical Safari” through the waters of Lago Rico, getting even closer to the Glacier.
After visiting the park, walking along the walkways and observing the Glacier and, with luck, its ruptures, we returned to the hotel.
