Gobsmacking Glacier
A trip to this imposing glacier gives you a chance to walk on the ice wearing cleats and to see and hear a truly astounding spectacle: blocks of ice rupturing and floating away as icebergs.

Gobsmacking Glacier
This is a world class destination. However, to fully appreciate the majesty of the glacier I would advise getting there as early as possible before all the tourist buses arrive. We were at the entrance to the park just before the gates opened at 8 AM, but it was well worth the early rise as our experience was massively enhanced by being almost on our own. For us, two hours was more than enough time - unless you’re planning the guided glacier hike - The cafe/restaurant (good choice/reasonably priced) didn’t open until 10AM, so we enjoyed breakfast before driving back to Bariloche on a completely empty road - where we indulged our inner Top Gear racer dude!

Must see Glacier
Perito Moreno Glacier is a must see place in Argentina. It is a lot closer and approachable than these in Alaska. If you are lucky with good weather, you can definitely enjoy the vast glacier from multiple angles in the park. In December, it was quite windy and cold. The view is gorgeous and there are multiple trails that you can enjoy from the top, side and bottom. There are boat trips available than you can spend an hour to get a closer look. We also took the very popular Glacier Mini trekking that requires advanced reservation.
