Yes of course. The Perito Moreno Glacier is perfect to take amazing photos. You will be in front of this colossus of ice and will have time and different views of this amazing glacier.
There are plenty of great spots to take photos of the Perito Moreno Glacier, and the surrounding landscape offers stunning views.
1. The Viewing Platforms (called Pasarelas)
The main viewing platforms are the best and most accessible spots to capture the glacier. These walkways provide several viewpoints at different heights, offering a variety of perspectives of the glacier’s massive ice wall. You can get close-up shots of the glacier’s front, and if you’re lucky, you might capture the dramatic moment of calving, when chunks of ice break off into the water.
