Hiking in Patagonia’s Perito Moreno Glacier | The Last Advancing Ice | Frozen Cathedral in Argentina
“Hiking in Patagonia’s Perito Moreno Glacier is more than an adventure — it is a journey into one of Earth’s last advancing ice giants. From the gateway town of El Calafate to the breathtaking bus and boat ride across Lake Rico, this documentary captures the full experience of reaching Argentina’s frozen cathedral.
Step onto the glacier itself with crampons, guided by experts who lead in both English and Spanish. Traverse ridges, crevasses, and shimmering meltwater pools in a trek rated easy to moderate, accessible to most explorers. Learn how to prepare for the hike, what to wear, and why this glacier remains unique in a world where most are retreating.
Witness traditions like whiskey served over glacier ice, discover hidden ice caves carved by meltwater streams, and hear the thunderous roar of calving walls that echo across Los Glaciares National Park. Explore the scale of Perito Moreno — 30 kilometers long, 5 kilometers wide, and 170 meters thick — part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, the planet’s third‑largest reserve of fresh water.
Beyond the glacier, uncover the secrets of Patagonia itself: ancient lenga beech forests, rare wildlife like the huemul deer, and the vast landscapes of Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This film reveals why Patagonia is considered one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and why standing before Perito Moreno is a pilgrimage every traveler should make at least once in their lifetime.
Filmed with cinematic precision, this documentary blends breathtaking footage with immersive storytelling to take you to one of the world’s greatest adventures. Welcome to Patagonia’s Perito Moreno Glacier — The Last Advancing Ice Giant, the Frozen Cathedral in Argentina. #Patagonia
