If you’re lucky, you’ll get to witness giant chunks of ice break off the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia, Argentina.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/a>Perito Moreno Glacier<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Prepare for your breath to be taken away by the Perito Moreno Glacier in the Los Glaciares National Park located in the southwest of the country. This astonishing sight will make you appreciate the power of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While some glaciers in the world are shrinking, this one is growing in size. In fact, it grows around two meters per day. Additionally, you can witness parts of the colossal 60-meter glacier loudly crash into the water below. This area also holds the third largest freshwater reserve in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This impressive landscape is perhaps best known for its giant red sandstone cliffs and structures.

Whether the story is true or not, the cinnamon-colored array\u00e1n treetrunks that dot the groves of this natural wonder look like they came straight out of a Disney movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The forest known as Los Arrayanes National Park is located deep within the Nahuel Huapi National Park and is one of the dreamiest places you will ever get to visit. Some of the trees in the park are over 600 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The falls are part of the Iguazu river and can be found in the Iguazu National Park in Misiones. In total, there are over 275 waterfalls along the Iguazu River, making the collection the largest waterfall system in the world.

Known locally as Cuevas de M\u00e1rmol, the Marble Caves can be found in the Patagonian Andes. This remote geological structure can only be accessed by boat, and the waters are actually shared by both Argentina and Chile. The marble caves carved by the power of the ocean have resulted in awe-inspiring arcs that resemble giant cathedrals. The caves make for a perfect day trip by boat, but we highly recommend renting kayaks once you’re in the area for a more memorable up close and personal experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Lighthouse at The End of the World<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
On the southern tip of the country lies a lighthouse which many people fondly refer to as the lighthouse at the end of the world. The official name of the lighthouse is Les Eclaireurs, or the Scouts, and can be reached by boat from Ushuaia. While this may be a bucket list destination for many adventures, there are few tour companies that operate visits to the lighthouse. The lighthouse essentially bridges the gap between South America and Antarctica, positioned on an island surrounded by notoriously dangerous waters and frigid winds. Your best bet is to hop on a boat en route to the Island of Lobos, which will take you near the lighthouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
