In the southwestern tip of Patagonia, in the
Province of Santa Cruz, the southernmost Argentine continental province,
rises a frigid plateau, 1500 meters above sea level, which gives
birth to immense ice rivers: the glaciers. Declared a Natural Heritage
of Humanity by UNESCO in 1981, Los Glaciares National Park is the
principal attraction of El Calafate. Here we find the Perito Moreno
Glacier, known worldwide for its features. Its accessibility gives
the opportunity to explore continental ice, discover a unique scenery
of magical whiteness, vibrate with the thunderous cracking of the
ice walls, or venture out on a surrealistic walk on the immense
glacier, whose tongues descend to 200 meters above sea level. A
unique vision of the impressive contrast of ice against the greenery
of the flora and the woods. |
