Perito Moreno Glacier: the visit

Accompanied by a guide authorized by the Los Glaciares National Park, leaving the city we can see Lake Argentino with its Round Bay. In it you can see an important variety of birds, standing out the black-necked swan, flamingos, and steam duck. In the first 40 km, the Patagonian steppe is crossed where the yellow color stands out, due to its pastures called Coiron. Upon passing the entrance of the National Park we enter the Andean Patagonian Forest where we will observe ñires, sour cherries, and lengas, among others. Once on the glacier, we will contemplate the majesty that impacts the eyes of the visitor, once we have recovered from the amazement, we will begin the walk through the walkways and balconies to enjoy different views of the front of the Glacier.
