Glaciar Perito Moreno Los Glaciares National Park

Today was the most amazing day of our trip so far and possibly ever! The Perito Moreno Glacier , Patagonia, perhaps an unbeatable landscape with the most breathtaking scenery. We were in absolute awe at this jaw-dropping 60metre tall & 250km2 gigantic glacier. We were so lucky to have a beautiful sunny cloudless sky and at the same time see the …

Perhaps they just sold us a lifetime supply of dye, perhaps it was the whiskey toast we just had or perhaps they just hiked Perito Moreno Glacier. We met Hsu and his colleagues while taking a hike on the iconic glacier. They were …
