Glacier

Perito Moreno Glacier

A towering wall of blue ice meets Lago Argentino, watched from forest walkways and viewing balconies.

Follow the balconies for different angles on the glacier and listen for the crack of falling ice. Morning light reaches the face opposite the walkways. Stay behind every railing: calving ice can throw dangerous splinters. Many paths have steps and become slippery in rain or snow; an accessible ramped trail is available.
