Esplendor De Calafate El Calafate

... about the glacier is how blue it is! It is a bright blue that gets bluer the more the sun comes out. A lot of the time we were there yesterday it was snowing, but once in a while it would stop and the glacier would be bright blue!

This glacier was the third and final major highlight of the trip that we had planned ahead of time, along with Machu Picchu and Iguazu Falls. None of them failed to disappoint and all three took our breath away. Any and ...

... humanidade pela UNESCO, protege 300 glaciares. Nao sabia que eram tantos. Do lado chileno existem muitos tambem mas nao ha estrutura turistica para visita-los.

Estou contente, tenho conseguido alcancar os objetivos de viagem:

- Navegar no Canal Beagle em Ushuaia;
- Visitar o Parque Omora em Puerto Williams;
- Ver os glaciares em El Calafate;

Fica faltando ver o Cerro Fitz Roy em El Chalten, acho que vai dar.

Preciso dormir.

... on size and distance and both the glacier and the lake that it sits in are the most bright azure blue that none of it really looks real. Unfortunately you canīt see the colours properly because it was quite a dark day and so not optimum photo taking conditions. Iīm sure thereīs a perfectly scientific explanation as to why the water is THAT shade of blue but I donīt know what it is and to me it all ...

... places. We went to Perito Moreno, impressive glacier, as big as whole Buenos Aires city. The Perito Moreno comes down from a valley, and it is stopped by the Lago Argentino and Península de Magallanes, situation wich makes an amazing effect, because the glacier breaks the Lago Argentino in two, and it makes that after some time (years) the pression of the water in one side breaks the glacier. Pity we ...

... during the cab ride got to music and he asked if we knew Journey? Mary started singing a Journey track and he loved it and hummed along. He was a fan of Zeppelin, Floyd, the Doors, Marley and, of course, Toto. He was the second or third cab driver that loved Toto and sang along to every word on the radio. Mary knows the guitarist from Toto and happily joined the cab driver. Toto, wherever you are, you should do a ...

... meters lang. Prachtige welvingen in het ijs dat er 400 jaar over doet om vanaf de top van de berg naar beneden te schuiven (2 meter per dag) en uiteindelijk met een oorverdovend gedonder in het Lago Argentino te storten, tot groot genoegen van de vele omstanders. Onze minitrekking begon met het aantrekken van de ijsclamps (met van die spijkers aan de onderkant) en als ware pinguins waggelde we in het begin ongemakkelijk over het ijs (dat kei en keihard was overigens), om ...

... is very similar yet incredibly different... if new zealand fills you with a soothing peacefullness as you drive through the country, patagonia stares at you with peaceful awe... everything is SO big and so wide and SO long!... there is SO MUCH LAND here in argentina that its incredible... and a lot of times, its a lot of nothing... but a lot of incredibly beautiful nothing... we arrived in el calafate late afternoon to a wonderful little town at the edge of lake ...

... the Glaciar, depending on the weather (Patagonia Summer, you never know what you are going to get). Of all possible ways a person can be amazed: athletic excellence, human innovation, great story, or talented musician, amazement by nature is, in our opinion, by far the most powerful and intense. The width, height, color, shapes, and activity of this huge ice cube was nothing less than awesome. Us, as well as ...

... standing and "zoning out" to the glacier , staring at it , listening to itīs noises and hoping the largest most precarious parts at the front might break off ... but the old adage "a watched pot never boils" was true in this case. Back in El Calafate I decided there wasnīt anything compelling enough to warrant another day so I booked a bus up to El Chalten which is a few hours north and is the base for more trekking to see the famous mountains Fitzroy and Torre.

ENGLISH - Deutsch bitte runterfahren After a short flight from Ushuaia, I arrived in El Calafate. It was kind of a wired place. You could really tell that this place is only there because of its famous attraction, the Perito Moreno Glacier. The next morning, I was suposed to have a 7am pick up and as always... these pick up buses come and go whenever they want. So my bus finally arrived at 7.45am. Poor people, I thought, who've been already since 7am in this bus, cruising around town to ...
