Perito Moreno Glacier is the park’s most famous and imposing resident. Visitors travel from around the world to set eyes on the magnificent sight of this ever-growing natural phenomenon, which stretches three miles wide and 200 feet high above Lake Argentino. Watch as the evolving landscape takes shape in front of you, with huge chunks of ice breaking free from the main body of Perito, booming into the lake below and sending a mesmerising shower of water hundreds of feet into the air. The waves and dramatic crashes caused by these continual movements are a display of true natural beauty.
The tour begins at El Calafate, setting off on a comfortable one-hour drive, which leads us to Los Glaciares National Park, with the first breathtaking glimpse of Moreno coming into view as we travel towards Lago Argentino; the unforgettable scenery further enhanced by the imposing Andean Mountains in the background.
A full-day tour offers the chance to fully appreciate one of South America's most famous natural landmarks and, in addition to the stunning views of the Perito Moreno, we will also have an opportunity to uncover the National Park's wildlife, with a walk among their native surroundings. A guided hike through the National Park will offer the chance to spot Andean Condors, Buff-Necked Ibis, Black-Chested Buzzard Eagles, Ashy-Headed Geese and many other unusual species known to inhabit the myriad of scenic trekking trails that dissect the rolling hills and plains surrounding the lake.
