Today I took a tour west from El Calafate to Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, home to the Perito Moreno glacier.
The park is roughly an hour drive from El Calafate over some very quiet roads:
I had the opportunity to view the glacier up close (by boat) and then from above (from some trails and overlooks in the park). I can only hope to have captured a bit of the scale of this river of ice.
As an extra bonus travel adventure, the municipal water system in El Calafate failed while I was away. No hot shower for me, or anyone else.
It will be back tonight “we hope,” says the manager at the hotel.
You can see more of my travel stories without having to check back randomly to see if I’ve posted something new.
Thank you for following along!
