The best photos of Patagonia aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Perito Moreno Glacier and Glacier walkways will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Mini trekking on the glacier for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.

Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided photography tour route in Patagonia. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Perito Moreno Glacier — a 19-mile-long glacier with elevated walkways for viewing calving ice into Lake Argentino, Glacier walkways — a network of metal catwalks and viewpoints at different levels overlooking the glacier face, plus hidden gems like Mini trekking on the glacier — a guided walk onto the surface of Perito Moreno with crampons to explore crevasses and ice formations and Brazo Rico kayaking — paddling on the lake at the glacier's southern face for a water-level perspective of the ice wall.
Use this page as a starting point for a Patagonia walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Patagonia. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Patagonia attracts visitors for nature and hiking, and Perito Moreno Glacier and Glacier walkways and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Mini trekking on the glacier reward those who wander off the main path.
