From the towering mountain of Fitz Roy to the icy glacier Perito Moreno, explore the breathtaking region that covers southern Argentina and parts of Chile. Here’s a list of the top places to visit and things to do in Patagonia.

Explore Iguazu Falls

Iguazu Falls is an awe-inspiring group of waterfalls that lies on the border of Argentina and Brazil. We recommend you visit Puerto Iguazu, a national park on the Argentina side. The park offers six trails where visitors can experience panoramic views of the rushing falls and immerse themselves in the surrounding rainforest. But Devil’s Throat is undoubtedly the park’s crown jewel, towering at over 200 feet tall and over 400 feet wide. You can take a rafting excursion to cool off and feel the exhilarating sensation of Devil’s Throat’s massive falls crashing around you.

Take a tour of Perito Moreno Glacier

Located inside Los Glaciares National Park and accessible via a short flight from Buenos Aires, the Perito Moreno Glacier is an icy terrain stretching almost 100 miles across. This glacier is just one of many that feeds the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, the third largest freshwater reserve in the world. Visitors can take a boat tour or trek the glacier’s rugged terrain. You might even witness icy shards break off and crash into the freezing waters below.
