Perito Moreno is the third biggest glacier in Argentina, it spans over 200km² and is one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world, moving at approximately 2m/day… This means you’re bound to see some ice fall from the 60m ice face that looms above the lake.
What an incredible experience, nothing really prepares you for the enormity of this giant ice animal. Standing next to the glacier you can feel its alive with movement, you can hear the cracks and groans and thunderous cacophony as ice falls to the melting pot below. It was the perfect surreal experience definitely the top of the “wow” moments on this adventure for the three of us African babies who’ve never even seen as ice berg before.
We also decided to splurge out and we took a boat to the bottom of the 60m ice shelf…about 300m away and watched the glacier living life creaking and groaning as it’s done for millennia.
Somehow words just cannot begin to describe the experience!

Another attraction in Argentina is the people that lives there and their cultures, here's a place where you could stay when you plan on visiting there.
