What To Expect
Perito Moreno Glacier
The best known and most impressive glacier in Los Glaciares National Park. This glacier shows a surprising and curious phenomenon, in which its great mass of ice continuously advances, causing the accumulation, rupture and detachment of gigantic blocks of ice on its 5 km wide front, located on the Canal de los Témpanos; that's where the numerous ice fragments of the glacier sail. The front of the glacier exceeds 60 meters above the water at its maximum height, from where pieces of various sizes fall continuously, producing a stridency comparable to the sound of thunder.
Pasarelas Perito Moreno
Upon reaching the Perito Moreno Glacier, we will cross the walkways that have balconies at different levels and angles connected by paths and stairways which can be covered in its entirety during the excursion and thus we will be able to appreciate this impressive and wonderful glacier from different points.

3.00The experience is fabulous - Perito Moreno is breathtaking.....but we wished we would have had the chance to choose which side of the Glacier to visit....clearly the North part is much prettier - deep blue water . I felt a little deceiving to go to the south part (brown dark water) I felt a a little more information regarding how to choose the ferry would have been nice
Great experience,...
