The first view of Perito Moreno Glacier is at the Curve of the Sighs, where the glacier’s 60-meter-high front wall and surrounding landscape are visible. Next, visitors spend time on the park’s elevated walkways that provide multiple viewing platforms for photos and observation of the glacier’s ice formations and cliffs. The optional one-hour boat ride departs from Puerto Bajo Las Sombras.
