The Geography of Los Glaciares

Lake Viedma and Lake Argentino divide Los Glaciares into northern and southern visitor landscapes. That geography explains why Fitz Roy hikes and Perito Moreno Glacier need separate plans.

Why go

The northern sector pairs Lake Viedma with the Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre mountains; the southern sector has Lake Argentino and glaciers including Perito Moreno, Upsala and Spegazzini. The central stretch does not connect these into one easy visitor circuit. The map makes the park's two bases clear.

What to look for

  • Lake Viedma anchors the northern sector; Lake Argentino anchors the south.
  • Perito Moreno reaches a lake arm by land-accessible viewpoints.
  • Upsala and Spegazzini are associated with boat excursions on Lake Argentino.

Useful to know

  • Plan northern hikes and southern glacier viewing as distinct outings.
