Lago Argentino Holidays

Lago Argentino holidays take you to one of the main attractions of Los Glacieres national park in Argentine Patagonia. This vast turquoise lake covers an area of 566 square metres and reaches deep into the Southern Patagonian ice field - it’s fed by the Upsala and Perito Moreno glaciers. The charming town of El Calafate is the starting point for all your adventures, located on Lago Argentino’s southern shore, the town is a beacon for hikers, climbers and adventurers looking to explore this wild and beautiful part of Patagonia. From here it’s a drive to reach the wooden walkways which take you right opposite the advancing wall of Perito Moreno glacier. Like an immense frozen sea, it towers above you silently, and then suddenly a chunk the size of a house breaks off with a mighty roar into the lake below. It is truly awe-inspiring.
