Parque Nacional Laguna San Rafael
Created in 1959, Parque Nacional Laguna San Rafael covers an
area of 6,726 square miles (17,420 sq km) and includes the Northern
Patagonian Ice Field. It was named for the San Rafael Lagoon that
was created by the retreat of the San Rafael Glacier, and has been
designated a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. A fjord more than
10 miles (16km) long is one of the park's principle attractions,
along with some of the highest peaks in Patagonia, several
glaciers, lakes and a rich variety of bird and sea life. While the
majority of visitors to Laguna San Rafael never set foot on land,
the magificent views from the boat are such that will stay with you
