LOS GLACIARES NATIONAL PARK
Los Glaciares National Park is home to the
world's third largest ice cap, after one in
Antarctica and another in Greenland. It's
a unique place where glaciers can be seen
forming, melting and evolving extremely close
to sea level – allowing for unprecedented views
and an unparalleled insight into this icy world.
EXPLORE PERITO MORENO GLACIER
The most famous of the many glaciers within
Los Glaciares National Park is undoubtedly
Perito Moreno, mostly due to its fast and
dramatic changes and sudden ice falls. This
glacier is larger than Buenos Aires and produces
an optical illusion, whereby it can be seen
moving backward and forward simultaneously.
THE PATAGONIAN CITY OF EL CALAFATE
More a growing town than a city, El Calafate
and the centrally located Kosten Aike Hotel
provide the perfect base from which to explore
nearby Los Glaciares National Park. Set beside
Lake Argentino, where flamingos regularly
gather, the city is also home to the Glaciarium,
a modern glacier interpretation centre.
