Full description Just 8 km from the center of El Calafate, the Glaciarium stands, a modern Glacier Interpretation Center designed to offer an educational and immersive experience about the Patagonian ice. From its striking architecture, inspired by the shapes and textures of ice, to its interactive and visual content, every detail of the tour seeks to convey the magnitude and beauty of the region.

The visit begins in an entrance hall, home to the Cafeteria and Eco Shop, and unfolds across two main pavilions that combine education, science, and entertainment. Upon entering, a dark corridor guided by the sound of meltwater marks the beginning of the sensorial journey. Information panels, photographs by prominent artists, and audiovisual resources illustrate the formation of glaciers, the history of their explorers, and the phenomena that affect their evolution.

One of the highlights is a large model of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, which provides an understanding of the origin of the glaciers in Los Glaciares National Park, such as the Upsala Glacier and the iconic Perito Moreno Glacier. Their dynamic behavior is explained in a special section dedicated to their history and natural processes.

The museum also pays tribute to Francisco Pascasio Moreno, a key figure in the exploration of Patagonia, whose presence is felt throughout a room that conveys his passion for the landscapes of southern Argentina.

The Glaciarium is a must-see for those who wish to understand the natural environment of Los Glaciares National Park, and is ideal for complementing the experience of seeing the glaciers in person. It is a unique opportunity to learn, be moved, and connect with the majesty of the Patagonian ice Additional Information Please provide full details of your accommodation at the time of booking.
