The Perito Moreno glacier is a natural wonder in Argentina made of big, blue, beautiful ice. In fact, this stunning glacier covers more surface area than the entire city of Buenos Aires.
You can see this Patagonian glacier from a metal walkway that spans the edge of the lake, or there are glacier trekking tours so you can hike on top of the ice with a local guide.
Needless to say, seeing this glacier and hiking on it is an amazing experience, and it’s very popular with tourists coming to Argentina. It’s also surprisingly easy to do on a day trip from the town of El Calafate, in Patagonia’s southern region.
