Iguazu Falls from Argentina
Iguazú Falls are waterfalls of the Iguazú River located on the border of the Argentine province of Misiones and the Brazilian state of Paraná. The falls divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu.
The falls can be reached from the two main towns on either side of the falls: Puerto Iguazú in the Argentine province of Misiones, and Foz do Iguaçu in the Brazilian state of Paraná as well as from Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) on the other side of the Parana river from Foz do Iguaçu. The falls are shared by the Iguazú National Park (Argentina) and Iguaçu National Park (Brazil). These parks were designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1984 and 1986, respectively.
Iguazu Falls tours
There are more than 270 falls in an area where cliffs and islets are scattered in a half moon. The falls that can be visited are: Salto Floriano, Salto Deodoro, Salto Benjamín Constant, Salto Unión, Salto Escondido, Salto Mitre, Salto Belgrano, Salto Rivadavia, Salto Tres Mosqueteros, Salto Dos Mosqueteros, Salto San Martín, Salto Adán y Eva, Salto Bozzetti, Salto Ramirez, Salto Chico, Salto Dos Hermanos and Salto Alvar Nuñez.

Visit the Calafate in Patagonia Argentina

The Perito Moreno Glacier
One of the most interesting glaciers of the world is The Perito Moreno in Argentina. This famous glacier is located in a small town called El Calafate in the southwest of Santa Cruz Province (Patagonia).
Its name comes from a little bush with yellow flowers very common in Patagonia, with dark blue berries: the “calafate”. According to tradition, whoever eats calafate will return for more.
El Calafate is an important tourist destination as the hub to visit different parts of the Los Glaciares National Park, including the Perito Moreno Glacier (one of the most visited in the world) and the Cerro Chaltén and Cerro Torre.
The Upsala Glacier
El Calafate presents a dry climate, with an average maximum temperature of 19ºC, and an average minimum of -2º in winter. The length of the day changes according to season. In summer, the sun rises at 5.30am and sets at 11pm. In winter the day is shorter as there are only 8 hours of daylight.
If you take a trip to Calafate you could spend a gorgelous vacation doing a lot of thing as well as ice trakking (walking on this impressive ice mass), or sailing around the glacier walls.
Also we recomended you to visit the Speghazzini and the Upsala glaciers.
At El Calafate you will find yourself at the gateway to the majestic world of glaciers. Come to Argentina and enjoy El Calafate and the Perito Moreno glacier!
