After returning to ground level, we continue our journey with a panoramic city tour of downtown Rio de Janeiro; this is where the city was officially founded in the middle of the 16th century, and is now mainly its financial district. The Avenida Rio Branco with its financial buildings offers a stark contrast with the historical buildings of Cinelandia, Praca XV and the multitude of colonial churches and buildings.

Perito Moreno (8hrs)

After breakfast, regular tour to Perito Moreno Glacier: We will leave from El Calafate to the Glaciers National Park about 50 km along paved road (declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1981), continuing 30km inside the Los Glaciares National Park until reaching the Perito Moreno Glacier. From the beginning, the trip has pleasant surprises. Leaving the town, on the right we can see Lake Argentino with its Redonda Bay. In it you can see an important variety of avifauna, standing out the black-necked swan, flamingo, steam duck, gallareta, cauquén. The yellow color of the field is highlighted, this is due to its pastures called coirón, and among them stands out the white coirón and petiso. In the first 40 km the Patagonian steppe is crossed, passing later to the entrance of the National Park to observe the arboreal vegetation pertaining in its great majority of the family "notofagus" (ñires, guindos, lengas) and the one other canelo, and flowers of different colors, among which the note is highlighted by its intense red color, corresponding to the Patagonian Andean Forest. Once on the glacier, we go to the main balcony, then walk the catwalks freely, until the meeting time agreed with the guide. The footbridges offer from their viewpoints different perspectives of the glacier, allowing to enjoy this incredible natural spectacle. The glacier, named after the great Argentine explorer of the last century, is one of the few in the world in advance. This has made it one of the greatest natural spectacles in the world. In its advance it dammed the waters of the Rico Brazo of the Argentino Lake, with what the level of that reaches to rise until 30 meters on the one of the Argentine Lake, putting pressure on the ice. First, a tunnel with a vault of more than 50 meters is created, through which the waters of the Brazo Rico descend to Lake Argentino. The erosion caused by the water finally causes the collapse of the vault, in one of the most impressive spectacles that can be witnessed. The process has been repeated throughout irregular intervals: the last rupture, which began to take place on March 10, 2018. Overnight. Read more
