| no partners | | After completing our backpacking trip in Chile, we crossed the border into Argentinian Patagonia and spent a day watching 230 ft. towers of glacier ice calve off into Lago Argentino from the Perito Moreno Glacier. Mesmerizing!
Prior to 2020, Perito Moreno was one of the few glaciers worldwide that was advancing rather than retreating, but since 2020, it has joined the retreating ranks.
The Glacier is part of Argentina's national park system, and they have constructed miles of raised boardwalks for viewing the glacier from many different angles.
For extra fees, one can take a ferry ride or guided kayak tours for a closer look. Also, more pricey options will get you a tour walking out on the glacier itself. We didn't spend the extra cash, in part, because we still needed to drive a few hours after our tour to get to the hiking capital of Argentinian Patagonia--El Chalten, where we would cap off our Patagonia adventure with a hike up to Mt. Fitz Roy and the surrounding area. |
