Los Glaciares National Park
Choose the way to live your adventure in the ice-cold paradises of Patagonia.
Where will you start to enjoy beauty? In the Southern Andes region in the Argentine territory, Los Glaciares National Park, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is waiting for you. Here, between landscapes of mountains, lakes, and native forests, find a world of glaciers born in the Patagonian Continental Ice Field: the largest frozen surface in the world after Antarctica. Do you dare explore it?
Behold the immensity of the Viedma glacier, and discover the Upsala, the largest in the Atlantic basin. Have you explored the eighth wonder in the world? Put your crampons on and set on a trekking experience on the Perito Moreno glacier, an emblem of Argentine Patagonia. Cross its bridges, watch its creaks, step into its frozen caves, and behold a unique show: the break-off of the glacier’s ice walls. Live this adventure in the province of Santa Cruz.
