el Calefate

Thanks for all the great messages everyone is sending us through this website!

After El Chalten it was time to go back to El Calefate for our trip to the most famous glacier of South America. The Porito Moreno.
The perito moreno glacier is the number one attraction of the town El Calefate because it can be easily reached by car/bus and the view on the glacier is great. So like all other visitors to El Calefate we went to see Perito Moreno. Luckly the weather was great and so were the views.
A wall of ice over 60m high is ending up in a lake and regularly big blocks of ice come down with a lot of noice. Spectacular views!!

Walking back from the harbour at the Perito Moreno we spotted a woodpecker couple. The photo shows the male.

Once back from this great tour our friends Jeroen and Dionne arrived at the hotel as well so we had a very nice diner together.

We're all staying in the Sierra Nevada Lodge link a great hotel with good service near the center of El Calefate.
