Perito Moreno Full Day |
|
| This visit to the Perito Moreno glacier starts in El Calafate, going through route 11, with Lake Argentino on our right and beholding the botanical transition between steppe vegetation to Andean-Patagonian vegetation, made of “lenga” trees, Antarctic Beech and bright-colored flowers, among which the redness of Embothrium stands out.
Already inside the National Park the Glaciers, we will enter long and wide catwalks, arranged in three levels, from where we will be dazzled by the spectacular views of the Perito Moreno Glacier, further enhanced every now and then by the rupture, sometimes significant, of its front wall. At the National Park, you can buy two optional nautical excursions that take you on a tour along the northern wall (MORENO FIESTA) from where you will be able to contemplate the glacier in all its beauty and magnitude.

In the middle of the excursion, we will enjoy a unique picnic “on the ice”, surrounded by an amazing beauty. Once the walk is over, we will board again and return to civilization from one of the most unbelievable trekking expeditions in the world. |
