The sound is unmistakable, loud and sharp like
a gunshot. What happens next is one of the most
exhilarating sights imaginable, as several tons
of turquoise-colored ice crash into the freezing
waters of Lake Argentino. This is Perito
Moreno, a spectacular 19-mile-long glacier
that is the crowning glory of Argentina’s Los
Glaciares National Park. This majestic glacier,
one of the few in the world that is still growing,
is set in stunning Patagonian scenery. For an
unforgettable experience and breathtaking
views, don a pair of crampons for a trek across
the ice.
THE SOUND IS
UNMISTAKABLE,
LOUD AND SHARP
LIKE A GUNSHOT.

PARTNER’S POV
“
The Perito Moreno Glacier is known as a summer
destination (Southern Hemisphere summer…so
December, January, and February) because the winter
months can be quite cold down here. But here is my
little secret: the shoulder season—April, September,
and early October—is a great time to visit Southern
Patagonia. Not only do you have little or no wind, a
light dusting of snow up on the hills and the place all
to yourself, but you also have the beautiful Patagonian
forest painted with reds, oranges, and ochres.”
