These adventures take us to the famous Moreno Glacier, the last advancing glacier on the continent, Argentino and Viedma lakes, as well as the world famous climbing destination of Chalten (Fitzroy Massif).
Los Glaciares National Park. Extending from Cerro Fitzroy in the north to Cerro Stokes in the south, this park includes over 13 glaciers that fall from the Southern Patagonian Ice Cap into the second and third largest lakes in all of South America. Argentino and Viedma lakes traverse the east/west ecosystem transition from glacier to tundra to rainforest to desert.
Accommodations: These are not camping trips, accommodations for these trip extensions are all in hotels.
