  • PATAGONIA Located in Argentina and Chile, Patagonia Is a Natural Wonderland That Occupies the Southernmost Reaches of South America
    PATAGONIA Located in Argentina and Chile, Patagonia is a natural wonderland that occupies the southernmost reaches of South America. It is an extraordinary landscape of dramatic mountains, gigantic glaciers that calve into icy lakes, cascading waterfalls, crystalline streams and beech forests. It is also an area rich in wildlife such as seals, humpback whales, pumas, condors and guanacos. The best time to visit Patagonia is between October and April. Highlights Spectacular Perito Moreno Glacier; scenic wonders of Los Glaciares National Park; unforgettable landscapes of Torres del Paine; breathtaking scenery of the Lakes District. Climate The weather is at its warmest and the hours of daylight at their longest (18 hours) during the summer months of Nov-Mar. This is also the windiest and busiest time of year. Winter provides clear skies, less windy conditions and fewer tourists; however temperatures can be extremely cold. 62 NATURAL FOCUS – TAILOR-MADE EXPERIENCES Pristine Patagonia Torres Del Paine National Park in Patagonia was incredible!

Our Travel Consultants come from around the world, have traveled extensively throughout South America and work “at the source" from our operations headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, Lima and Buenos Aires, and at our flagship office in Seattle. We are passionate about South America Travel, and we're happy to share with you our favorite Buenos Aires restaurants, our insider's tips for Machu Picchu, or our secret colonial gems of Brazil, and anything else you’re eager to know. The idea to create SouthAmerica.travel first came to Co-Founders Juergen Keller and Bradley Nehring while traveling through Brazil's Amazon Rainforest. The two noticed few international travelers, and those they did meet had struggled to arrange the trip by themselves. Expertise in custom travel planning to Brazil was scarce to nonexistent. This inspired the duo to start their own travel business to fill this void and help travelers plan great trips to Brazil, and later all South America. With five offices on three continents, as well as local telephone numbers in 88 countries worldwide, the SouthAmerica.travel Team has helped thousands of travelers fulfill their unique dream of discovering the marvelous and diverse continent of South America.

  • Currentknowledgeofthe
    CURRENTKNOWLEDGEOFTHESOUTHERN PATAGONIA ICEFIELD Gino Casassa':", Andrés Rivera':', Masamu Aniya', and Renji Naruse" 1. ABSTRACT We present here a review of the current glaciological knowledge of the Southern Patagonia Icefield (SPI). With an area of 13,000 km2 and 48 major glaciers, the SPI is the largest ice mass in the Southern Hemisphere outside of Antarctica. The glacier inventory and recent glacier variations are presented, as well as ice thickness data and its variations, ice velocity, ablation, accumulation, hydrological characteristics, climate changes and implications for sea level rise. Most ofthe glaciers have been retreating, with a few in a state of equilibrium and advance. Glacier retreat is interpreted primarily as a response to regional atmospheric warrning and to a lesser extent, to precipitation decrease observed during the last century in this region. The general retreat of SPI has resulted in an estimated contribution of 6% to the global rise in sea level due to melting of small glaciers and ice caps. Many glaciological characteristics of the SPI, in particular its mass balance, need to be determined more precisely. 2. INTRODUCTION The Southern Patagonia Icefield (SPI) extends north-south for 370 km, between 48°15' S and 51°35' S, at an average longitude of73°30' W (Figure 1). Its mean width is 35 km, and the minimum width is 9 km. The first detailed glacier inventory was compiled by Aniya el al. (1996), who showed that the SPI is composed of 48 major outlet glaciers and over 100 small cirque and valley glaciers. These glaciers flow frorn the Patagonian Andes to the east and west, generally terminating with calving fronts in freshwater lakes (east) and Pacific Ocean fjords (west).

  • Los Glaciares National Park Parque Nacional Los Glaciares
    Los Glaciares National Park Parque Nacional Los Glaciares (Spanish: The Glaciers) is a national park in the Santa Cruz Province, in Argentine Patagonia. It comprises an area of 4459 km². In 1981 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The national park, created in 1937, is the second largest in Argentina. Its name refers to the giant ice cap in the Andes range that feeds 47 large glaciers, of which only 13 flow towards the Atlantic Ocean. The ice cap is the largest outside of Antarctica and Greenland. In other parts of the world, glaciers start at a height of at least 2,500 meters above mean sea level, but due to the size of the ice cap, these glaciers begin at only 1,500m, sliding down to 200m AMSL, eroding the surface of the mountains that support them. Los Glaciares, of which 30% is covered by ice, can be divided in two parts, each corresponding with one of the two elongated big lakes partially contained by the Park. Lake Argentino, 1,466 km² and the largest in Argentina, is in the south, while Lake Viedma, 1,100 km², is in the north. Both lakes feed the Santa Cruz River that flows down to Puerto Santa Cruz on the Atlantic. Between the two halves is a non-touristic zone without lakes called Zona Centro. The northern half consists of part of Viedma Lake, the Viedma Glacier and a few minor glaciers, and a number of mountains very popular among fans of climbing and trekking, including Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre.
