Perito Moreno National Park

A trip to this imposing glacier gives you a chance to walk on the ice wearing cleats and to see and hear a truly astounding spectacle: blocks of ice rupturing and floating away as icebergs.

A true world class must see Do your research and spend as much of a full day as you can As well as the boardwalks and the many vistas, we did the boat trip and mini hike on the glacier. The crampons took a little getting used to and the on glacier ice hike was not for the faint hearted or physically impaired. It was done by the National Park staff very well. It wasn’t cheap, but we felt we experienced everything this remarkable national park has to offer Unmissable

Perito Moreno Glacier

Reviewed By mattontwowheels - Stirling, United Kingdom

The glacier is breathtaking and is well worth the excursion from El Calafate, particularly on an organised tour with an experienced guide who can offer insights into the nature and geography of the park.

Glaciar Spegazzini

Spectacular trip on a speed boat along a lot of glaciar in Argentinian lake. I've never seen a so incredible place where you can arrive so close to the glacier ad hear the noise of the moving peace of glacier

Glaciar Huemul

Reviewed By Bezi - London, United Kingdom

You can get a bus from El Charlten to the lake, the road is unpaved but fine. then you can get a boat to the start of this shortish walk. There are 3 trails (red, yellow and green) you want to take the red trail to the top. The trails are well marked and you won't get lost. This will lead you up to the lake before the glacier. There are probably tours that do this as the land is privately owned or Las Lengas do a bus service down to the lake. I suspect a tour would be the best way as it would tie in the boat ride you need to do. Well worth it in my opinion.
