Perito Moreno Glacier from El Calafate: How to Visit Without the Crowds (Even with Kids)

Perito Moreno Glacier is one of Patagonia’s most iconic sights, but it’s also far more approachable than it might seem—even with kids.

The cracking ice, the thunder of calving, and the quiet in between made it unforgettable—without ever feeling rushed or overwhelming.
