The southern glaciers are “a must” in Argentina. The country has plenty of astonishing places, but this combine spectacular nature with the bonus of reaching them easily.

El Calafate is the support town with accommodation and main services. That is the starting point for the visits to the glaciers located at Los Glaciares National Park, located 80 km far from El Calafate village.

The most famous glacier is Perito Moreno, which expands over the south side of the Argentino Lake waters, with a 5 km front and 60 metres high over the lake.

Other glaciers such as Upsala can also be visited but by boat.
