... to be seen. Maybe it´s the thunderous crackling of ice calving into milky waters, the gorgeous blues and teals that are as vibrant as the waters of caribbean, or perhaps it´s just the vastness of the ice fields that make this advancing chunk of ice so mesmerizing. Perito Moreno is one of the few glaciers on earth that is still advancing. It moves at a rate of 2 m per day! Which means lots of action for those who visit ...

... grande mesmo. Isso me fez pensar que nao sei qual o maior lago do Brasil, vergonha... A Lagoa dos Patos no Rio Grande do Sul, com 9.850Km quadrados, eh o maior lago brasileiro.<br><br>Voltando ao barco, a navegacao percorre alguns "bracos" do lago em direcao ao Glaciar Upsala. Nessa epoca do ano existem diversos icebergs flutuando livremente. A agua verde do lago contrastando com as montanhas escuras com neve no topo e o azul bonito dos icebergs, cria ...

... hotels. It's fast becoming a major tourist destination and the trip to the nearby Perito Moreno glacier explains why. I had scoffed a little when a fellow traveller had earlier descibed his experience here as an Epiphany - I discovered the glacier's beauty is impossible to do justice to in words. The village itself is a pleasant, friendly place with fantastic food and decent nightlife.

... not realizing that was what we saw the first day we arrived at the park). She was not too pleased at that one. We had a great scramble descent to get back down the valley and to Campamento Italiano. In an overcrowded shelter from the rain (and with everything on our bodies near frozen), we quickly ate lunch and made our way back in much-worse mud than before. Just as we cleared the traverse along Paine Grande, the sun and ...

... the lake. We spent hours watching this process repeating itself, mesmorised and trying to catch some of the falling junks on camera. This proved to be very difficult and a lot of luck is required as the glacier is so huge, 4 km across and curved. The noise is the first warning you get by which time the ice has already hit the water. Every few years on average, the glacier advances all the way across ...

... of your senses to appreciate it; the smell of the nearby forest dew, the taste of pure ice water, the sight of all that blue, the sound of the crackling and falling chunks of ice and the touch of some of the most densely packed ice to be found. We began by revisiting the balcony - taking this sight in once again - and boarded a catamaran to head towards the starting point for our trek. The Perito Moreno glacier is one of the few advancing glaciers left in the world, springing forth ...

... El Bolson, Antares and Quilmes (Stout, Bock, Red &amp; Cristal). All great beers, and should be sold in England as they are miles better than some of the rubbish we get! * Toasted Ham &amp; Cheese sandwiches - really cheap, really tasty and have been a staple lunch for the past few weeks * The staff at Hostel America del Sur - All "Mas loco que una cabra" (Crazier than goats), but have made the stay in El Calafate very enjoyable, especially ...

... pas toujours si pesant, bien au contraire.... Le retour en minibus accompagne d'une vingtaine de septagenaires de Cordoba nous a plutot enchante et m'a permis de montrer aux parents pourquoi j'avais tant aprecie l'hospitalite argentine.... Tres contents de partager leur bus avec des francais, ces petits vieux ne cessaient de nous inviter sur leurs photos et de nous poser des questions sur la France, l'air passiones, jusqu'au moment ou l'un d'entre eux a ...

... Getoese ins Wass** zu fallen. Er regt sich ab** nicht. Wir bekommen Steigeisen an uns**e Schuhe v**passt, um auf dem Gletsch**eis nicht abzurutschen. Uns**e Tourfuehr** zeigen uns, wie man damit laeuft, und dann geht es auf in die Eisb**ge. Hi** am unt**en Ende des Gletsch**s ist die Schmelzzone, und so laufen wir vorbei an leuchtend blauen und glasklaren kleinen Seen mitten im Eis. Einige davon sind extrem tief und sehen faszini**end aus. Gen**ell ist diese uns so fremde Landschaft ...

... porque en realidad es un naviero de carga que cada miércoles sale con destino a Puerto Williams (isla Navarino, Chile) y lleva a unos pasajeros para amortizar el viaje .... no es como los cruceros de lujo(con cenitas y baile) que siguen esa ruta, pero se ve el mismo paisaje y te cuesta la octava parte .... así que ni cortos ni perezosos, habíamos hecho la reserva para nuestro 'love boat' a la industrial. Lo mejor (o peor ...
