Patagonia's PERITO MORENO Glacier + Hiking LOS GLACIARES National Park (El Calafate, Argentina)

Today we're going hiking in Los Glaciares National Park and visiting the Perito Moreno Glacier, which is one of the few advancing glaciers in the world! Los Glaciares National Park is located in the province of Santa Cruz and it is Argentina’s largest national park. The landscapes here range from Patagonian steppe to Magellanic sub-polar forest with plenty of glaciers and icebergs thrown in for good measure. The park gets its name from the giant ice cap in the Andes, which feeds a total of 47 glaciers including the world-famous Perito Moreno Glacier.

And now let’s talk about the star of the show: the Perito Moreno Glacier. This glacier measures 5 km in length along its front and is 60 meters tall, however, if you also count the depth of the ice its height is closer to 170 meters! This glacier right here is the reason why so many people travel all the way down to southern Patagonia. Perito Moreno is also one of the few advancing glaciers in the world, so that alone is reason enough to visit.

Los Glaciares National Park is hands down one of the most impressive places that Sam and I have ever visited, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly! We spent hours walking the boardwalks and viewing the glacier from various vantage points, and it was pure magic!

In this video, we'll show you how you can visit the park independently (no tour necessary), and we'll show you what a day hiking in the park looks like. We hope you enjoy it!
