Its main attractions rest in the spectacular landscape in and of itself, (Torres and Cuernos del Paine), the lakes (Sarmiento, Nordenskjold, Pehoe, Grey, Paine, and Dickson), the flora and fauna that make this the ideal place for ecotourism, and adventure sports. (More Information).

There are also ruins of ancient human settlements within the area. They occupied the caves as shelter more than 12,000 years ago. (More Information).

Parque Nacional Los Glaciares
Glaciers National Park, founded in 1937, is located in the Province of Santa Cruz in the Argentinean Patagonia. It was declared a Natural Heritage of Humanity (Patrimonio Natural de la Humanidad) by UNESCO in 1981, and possesses a beautiful landscape and has an extraordinary ecological value. It covers more than 600,000 hectares (1,482,000 acres), with its main attraction being the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier, which stands 80 meters (262 ft) tall and is 5 kilometers (3.1miles) long. The glacier is formed by large blocks of ice that are always moving, being one of the few glaciers with this characteristic. You can visit it by going on lake excursions, and also by land as it is possible to even walk on the glacier itself. There is a small runway from which you can also view the glacier and its ice, revealing beautiful details of the floating icebergs in the Lake Argentino. (More Information).
