El Perito Moreno es uno de los tantos glaciares que forman el Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. Todos forman el Hielo Continental Patagónico (17.000 kilómetros de extensión), una de las reservas de agua potable más importante del mundo. Es que el 90 % del agua dulce del planeta se encuentra en las zonas glaciarias: después de la Antártida y Groenlandia.
Por lo espectacular de la vista que ofrece, el glaciar Perito Moreno es considerado la octava maravilla del mundo. La imponente masa de hielo interminable rodeada de bosques y montañas es un espectáculo que pocos se quieren perder.
Rodeado de cumbres nevadas y bosques de lengas y ñires, estos hielos cubren unos 195 km2 (según otras fuentes 235), es decir, más de la superficie de la Capital Federal, de la que se encuentra a una gran distancia: 2.800 km. Un halo de paz infinita, sobre la naturaleza virgen, lo convierte en un gran atractivo para quienes quieren disfrutar del aire puro y del sonido del silencio. Sonido que interrumpe sólo el movimiento del glaciar, que constantemente le regala al Lago Argentino inmensos bloques de hielo. Estos, al desprenderse del zócalo de ablación, caen en el Canal de los Témpanos, produciendo un estruendo profundo y estremecedor.
Bellísimo coloso de hielo que impresiona y conmueve a quienes llegan hasta aquí.

The Perito Moreno is one of so many glaciers that form the National Park The Glacier. They all form the Continental Patagonian Ice (17.000 kilometres of extension), one of the reserves of more important drinkable water of the world. It is that 90 % of the sweet water of the planet is in the zones glaciarias: after the Antarctica and Greenland.
For the spectacular of the sight that offers, the Skillful Brown glacier is considered to be the eighth marvel of the world. The impressive mass of endless ice surrounded with forests and mountains is a spectacle that few ones want to get lost. Surrounded with covered with snow summits and forests of lengas and ñires, these ices cover approximately 195 km2 (according to other sources 235), that is to say, more of the surface of the Federal Capital, of which he is to a great distance: 2.800 km. A halo of infinite peace, on the virgin nature, turns it into a great attraction for those who want to enjoy the pure air and the sound of the silence. Sound that interrupts only the movement of the glacier, which constant gives him to the Argentine Lake immense blocks of ice. These, on having parted with the socle of ablation, fall down in the Channel of the Floes, producing a deep and horrifying uproar.
The most beautiful Colossus of ice that it impresses and affects to whom they come here.
