Lake Argentino and Cerro Buenos Aires (From El Calafate)

Calm and serene situated between amongst an abundance of incredibly vast glaciers within Los Glaciares National Park, is the biggest freshwater lake in Argentina, Lago Argentino. Fed partially by glacial meltwater and mountain streams, Argentino flows into the Santa Cruz River and ultimately into the Atlantic. With hundreds of scattered icebergs both incredibly large, and small, the lake is extremely well-known for its almost pristine and magnificent color. The baby blue color of the water is thanks to the glacial meltwater that is well underestimated in photos, you have to see it to believe it!
