Cruise in Los Glaciares National Park

This one hour excursion takes you on a cruise across Lake Rico, passing beside icebergs which have calved off the front of the Perito Moreno glacier. At the Icebergs Channel, the boat stops at a safe distance from the glacier, allowing a spectacular view of the high wall of ice, a special treat for photographers.
