Site Attractions

Rio Turbio Mining Village. It is the epicenter of the production of stone coal. It is placed nearby the Valdelen Winter Sports Center.

The Glaziers National Park. Here, there are 47 glaziers, among which, the Perito Moreno is placed. This location amazes with its constant fall downs of its frozen mass of 60 meters height. When the mass falls, it breaks up into icicles that later slide down into the Tempanos (icebergs) Channel. It is also interesting to visit the vast extensions of the Patagonian Continental Ice.
