Perito Moreno National Park
In Patagonia, visit a reserve of life and culture next to the Andes mountain range.
Explore steppe environments where bushes and coirón grasslands rule. Behold the mirror of the lagoons. Wander around mountain forests, where lengas grow into different silhouettes: the higher they are, the more stunted you’ll see them, shaped as a flag due to the wind. Enjoy this adventure in the province of Santa Cruz.
