Perhaps one of the Argentina’s biggest tourist attractions, as well a little too many Peso’s (though every bit worth it); the Perito Moreno Glacier is a must see for anyone venturing to southern Patagonia. From the moment it’s in view, you will be in awe (and wishing you sat on the left hand side of […]
For those who are chasing a picturesque hike that’s somewhat off the beaten track (yet is (almost) as impressive as the infamous Laguna de los Tres), then the Loma del Pliegue Tumbado trail is for you.
