When exploring the park you will be constantly stunned by the natural beauty of sparkling icy lakes and rivers, dramatic mountains and incredible glaciers - images that will become lasting memories for all visitors to the park. The most prominent of which will be the incredible sight that is the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the only advancing glaciers in the world whose 60 metre high mass of ice is moving slowly eastwards. The thunderous roar as huge chunks of ice crack off and pound down the face of the glacier is almost as spectacular as the glacier itself.
