Shilli-Fully Travels

Perito Moreno is the main attraction in the Los Glaciers National Park. Named after the explorer who discovered Lake Argentina (“Perito” is a nickname meaning explorer), but who never saw the glacier. It is 30km long, 5km wide and at its highest 70m (Nelson’s column is 51m). It is one of the few glaciers considered stable, although this is currently under review (the locals think it is shrinking). It moves at two meters per day at its centre and is regularly producing icebergs. It can be viewed from a boat, at a safe distance, and from 4.7 km of walkways on the opposite land. We did both.
