Approximately 1 million liters of water fall every minute. Deafening noise is heard from miles away. The most spectacular section of the waterfall is The Devil’s Throat, which consists of 14 small waterfalls, and casts volatile splashing powder. Once you have finished admiring the waterfall, you can visit the parks that shelter countless species of animals and birds.
The Perito Moreno Glacier is situated in Los Glaciares National Park. The enormous pressure of tones of snow compresses the already existing ice, giving it a distinct blue tint.

Here, between the months of May and December, the whales can be admired, as they swim very close to the shore.
