Due to<br \/>its impressive natural beauty, it constitutes a unique wonder in the world and was declared a<br \/>\u201cWorld Heritage Site\u201d by UNESCO in 1981.<br \/>It owes its name to the presence of numerous glaciers that originate in the great Patagonian<br \/>Ice Field &#8211; the largest ice mantle in the world after Antarctica &#8211; which occupies almost half of<br \/>the Park. Also known as Patagonian Continental Ice, it feeds 47 large glaciers, of which 13<br \/>descend towards the Atlantic basin. In addition, there are more than 200 smaller glaciers<br \/>independent of the Patagonian Ice Field.<br \/>Although large masses of ice are usually found on our planet at more than 2500 meters<br \/>above sea level (masl), the glaciers in the province of Santa Cruz originate at only 1500 masl<br \/>and descend to 200 masl, allowing unique access and visualization in the world.<br \/>Perito Moreno Glacier<br \/>In the southern part of the Park is the most famous of all the glaciers: the Perito Moreno<br \/>Glacier. It owes its fame to its continuous movement, which produces a cyclical<br \/>phenomenon of advance and retreats with spectacular detachments of its ice front. The<br \/>nearest town to the glacier is El Calafate, the epicenter of all activities and services.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6079518 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6079518\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-87a5505\" data-id=\"87a5505\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e49fb8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6e49fb8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.13.3 - 28-05-2023 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mount Fitz Roy<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1f20217 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1f20217\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6c74103\" data-id=\"6c74103\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb8f236 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fb8f236\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/argtraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pexels-gaspar-massidda-8094454-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/argtraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pexels-gaspar-massidda-8094454-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/argtraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pexels-gaspar-massidda-8094454-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/argtraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pexels-gaspar-massidda-8094454-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/argtraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pexels-gaspar-massidda-8094454-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/argtraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pexels-gaspar-massidda-8094454-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/argtraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pexels-gaspar-massidda-8094454-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ff291bd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ff291bd\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-91cb80a\" data-id=\"91cb80a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-548ff21 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"548ff21\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At the other end of the Park are the highest peaks and the greatest diversity of granite forms<br \/>in the mountain range, which together with forests, glaciers, and lakes, make up one of the<br \/>most extraordinary sites in our country. The maximum height is Mount Fitz Roy or Chalt\u00e9n<br \/>(3405m) and Cerro Torre (3102m). In this scenario is the small town of El Chalt\u00e9n, which<br \/>attracts numerous mountaineers and trekking enthusiasts.<br \/>How to get there<br \/>Access to the Park is via a \u201ccomb\u201d type road network, made up of a series of routes that<br \/>branch off from National Route 40. This access network, basically motivated by the existence<br \/>of the large Viedma and Argentino lakes, is very suitable for area management, allowing<br \/>good control of access routes to the area and avoiding the consequent impact of road<br \/>construction in mountainous areas. The National Park can be accessed by bus or car from<br \/>the town of El Calafate, which can be reached through various air and landlines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Glaciares National Park is located in the region known as the Southern Andes ofArgentine territory, southwest of the province of Santa Cruz on the border with Chile.
