Argentina Water & Navigation — Glaciers, Rivers & the Beagle Channel
From Iguazú to the end of the world — Argentina on the water
Introduction
Argentina's most extraordinary landscapes are often best understood from the water. The Perito Moreno Glacier reveals its true scale from a boat gliding beneath its 60-metre ice face. The Beagle Channel — the same passage that shaped Darwin's understanding of the natural world — is navigated in near-complete silence under a Fuegian sky. The Iguazú cataracts thunder from every angle at once when you're in the river below them.
We arrange private and small-group boat excursions, kayak experiences, and navigation journeys across Argentina's most dramatic waterways — from the Paraná Delta outside Buenos Aires to the glacial lakes of Los Glaciares National Park.
This Experience Suits
- — Nature lovers

The glacier filled the entire window of the boat. There was a sound — somewhere between a crack and a thunder — and a wall of ice the size of a building fell into the water.
