If you have the opportunity to set foot in the land of Tango, tourists should not miss the destinations below.
El Chaltén – the trekking paradise of Patagonia
Dubbed the trekking capital of Argentina, El Chaltén is an ideal destination for nature lovers and outdoor activities.
The small town located in Los Glaciares National Park is the starting point for many famous routes such as Laguna de los Tres, Fitz Roy or Cerro Torre.
The scenery of the blue ice lake, snow-covered mountain peaks and primeval forests create one of the most beautiful trekking experiences in South America.
El Calafate and Perito Moreno Glacier
About three hours away from El Chaltén is El Calafate - the gateway to the Perito Moreno glacier. With a length of about 30 km, Perito Moreno is one of the few glaciers in the world that still maintains a stable state, in contrast to the shrinking trend of many other glaciers.
Visitors can admire from the wooden bridge system, go by boat close to the ice surface or participate in a trekking trip right on the glacier to feel the majestic beauty of nature.
Iguazú Falls
Located on the border between Argentina and Brazil, Iguazú is one of the largest and most impressive waterfall systems in the world.
