Glaciar Perito Moreno: Impressionante !
Passeio super válido. Deslumbrante a visão e o quão próximo se pode chegar do Perito Moreno, tanto pela caminhada pelas passarelas, como pelo passeio de barco. Vale contemplar e aguardar pedaços de gelo se desprenderem.. um espetáculo único
O Melhor Passeio Da Argentina!
