\"\"Patagonia Argentina its natural beauties are varied, in its territory it has lakes, rivers, mountains, valleys, steppe landscapes and beaches. Patagonia Argentina offers multiple possibilities to both national and international tourism. As far as its resources are concerned, we find oil, wool, fruit growing, mining, fishing, forests and we highlight: tourism.<\/p>\n

Perito Moreno Glacier, Santa Cruz, Argentina<\/h2>\n

Due to the spectacular nature of the view it offers, the Perito Moreno Glacier<\/a> is considered the eighth wonder of the world. The imposing mass of endless ice surrounded by forests and mountains is a sight that few want to miss. In fact, this place is, along with Puerto Madryn (in Chubut) and the Iguazu Falls (in the northern province of Misiones), one of the most visited places by foreigners in the country, and emblematic of Argentine tourism.
\nYou can get to the Glacier in walks by land, or alternating stages of navigation on the route. If the visitor arrives with his own vehicle, he must travel the Provincial Route N\u00ba 15, traveling from El Calafate approximately 78 kilometers, in an hour and a half of trip. Another very attractive way to visit the glacier is the “minitrekking” (walk on ice).<\/p>\n

Perito Moreno is one of the many glaciers that form Los Glaciares National Park. All form the Patagonian Continental Ice (17,000 kilometers long), one of the most important reserves of drinking water in the world. It is that 90% of the fresh water of the planet is in the glacial zones: after Antarctica and Greenland, our region continues. This extends between 47\u00ba and 51\u00ba of latitur south, reaches the Chilean fjords and in the east to the Argentine lakes. The North Continental Ice is located entirely in the neighboring Republic of Chile, while the South Patagonian Continental Ice is shared between the two nations.
\nHere all the Glaciers of the National Park are born, among which stands out the Perito Moreno Glacier. Tourists can approach 300 or 400 meters from the glacier tongues.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and forests of lenga and \u00f1ires, these ice cover about 195 km2 (according to other sources 235), that is, more than the surface of the Federal Capital, which is at a great distance: 2,800 km. A halo of infinite peace, on the virgin nature, makes it a great attraction for those who want to enjoy the pure air and the sound of silence. Sound that interrupts only the movement of the glacier, which constantly gives Lago Argentino immense blocks of ice. These, when detached from the socket of ablation, fall into the Canal de los T\u00e9mpanos, producing a deep and thrilling rumble.<\/p>\n

Way of the Seven Lakes<\/h2>\n

The best National Parks to visit in Patagonia Argentina. Mountains and dense forests of coihues accompany the winding gravel road that guides from one lake to another to those who embark on this adventure through the nooks that nature has drawn near Villa La Angostura.
\nMirror Lake is the first to appear as soon as Nahuel Huapi has been pierced, and its attractive landscape is completed with a previous look at the northern head of Correntoso Lake and the old Hotel Ruca Mal\u00e9n that rises in its margin. Continuing the journey, we reach Lake Escondido, a small Neuqu\u00e9n beauty that will immediately give way to the entrance to the valleys of Lakes Villarino and Falkner.<\/p>\n

Separated only by a narrow isthmus, these two lakes surprise with their majesty gaining the qualification of being the most picturesque of the route, in addition to having a magnificent waterfall and sites conditioned for the camper. Once entered into the Lan\u00edn National Park, the Beautiful Lake will be glimpsed, which does not fit more than its own name. The itinerary will have as its next stop the arid landscape of Lake Mach\u00f3nico, and then it will continue its course until it meets Lake L\u00e1car, already in San Mart\u00edn de los Andes.
\nThe route starts at 11 kilometers from Villa La Angostura, on Av. Siete Lagos (RN 231) which then connects with RN 234, also called the Seven Lakes Road, towards San Martin de los Andes, distant 110 kilometers.<\/p>\n
