We got a cold, windy and rainy welcome on the day we arrived in El Calafate in “Parque National Los Glaciares” and we got a feeling how nasty and unpleasant it can get in Patagonia. We booked ourselves on a tour to Glacier Perito Moreno for the next day and as lucky as we have been so far the weather turned to the better and we had a wonderful day out.
The glacier really was impressive with its measures of 30km of length, 5km of weight and 60m of height. It was literally breathtaking to watch and hear (it sounds like a gun shot) ice breaking off the glacier and we even had the opportunity to see a whole cave collapsing.
The next day we took it easy and started to explore the surrounding of El Calafate including the beautiful Laguna Nimez.
Still being full of energy we went to an Estancia in the afternoon for horseback riding and typical Patagonian Parilla (BBQ). Yammy!
