Perito Moreno, a large glacier, mini hiking
Super cold, walk on the world's 3rd largest glacier
This glacier is called Perito Moreno. It opens your eyes, body and heart. It's so cool for trekking on the ice that is considered the most beautiful in Argentina. And the greatness of the 3rd largest glacier in the world, on the shores of Lake Argentino in Patagonia, out of 47 glaciers in the world!!
Before starting to walk on the ice, you have to take a boat across to the island in the middle of the origin of the glacier and the starting point of walking on the glacier. The first thing is to put on an iron chain to increase the force of drilling the ice while walking on the ice to prevent slipping. There will be an officer to put it on because the chain is difficult to get tangled and heavy. After that, the guide will teach us how to walk by stomping our feet down to drill into the ice. This will help our feet grip the ice well when going up and down the hill.
Even more exciting, we will hear the sound of the ice sheet cracking and making a loud noise that echoes throughout the area. Every 15-20 minutes, the ice will slowly melt, causing the glacier to break and squeeze together. It is the most exciting experience.
As for the location of Perito Moreno, Patagonia
It is located at Los Glaciares National Park in Patagonia, Argentina. It is home to the Perito Moreno Glacier. This park is located 75 kilometers west of El Calafate. As for me, I rented a car to drive myself as usual. I drove from El Calafate. The driving route is easy and you can park your car at the parking lot.
In conclusion, it is a must that you must not miss. Walking to the Perito Moreno Glacier
