Thank God in El Calafate we had better luck with our accommodation, a homely bed and breakfast quite to our liking! From there we booked then also the trip for the next day. On the way to the glacier Perito Moreno convinced us of the vastness of Patagonia.

We also paid a typical farm, a so-called Estancia a visit and say there as formerly, the animals were kept and then as they were grilled for dinner, the typical dish is cooked a la parilla yes!

The Perito Moreno is one of the easiest-reach glaciers in the world, so to see him on the day and about 3000 people.

Also this is one of the most dynamic Eisriese the world, he has a growth of 2 meters per day, of which we were able to convince several chunks of ice fall itself. It is the speed with which overthrow the gigantic ruins in the depth and cause a noise like thunder.

Then we made even watch a short boat ride to the ice wall of the glacier Perito Moreno still from 300 meters away.

El Calafate is so satisfied with the starting point of all trips to the glacier and a nice little village with the infrastructure needs as a tourist. It is situated on Lago Argentino, the 1600 km2 largest lake in the country, where walk in the lagoon different animals, among others flamingos.
