Day 07 El Calafate

FD Glaciar Perito Moreno: This park has been declared as Mankind Heritage by UNESCO. Those glaciers that named it (about 47) show us a 10 thousand-year-old world: cold and wild. The most famous one is Perito Moreno Glacier in the southwestern end of Argentino Lake at 80 km away from El Calafate. This glacier is so-called due to a great Argentinian explorer from last century and is one of the few glaciers that is still moving in the world. That is why it has become one of the most spectacular natural shows in South America. From time to time its 60-m-high snout releases some ice walls as huge as buildings that fall into Rico Bend or Canal de los Témpanos (Ice floes Channel) and then they continue sailing along the channel to the main area of the lake. However, that is not all. The glacier, while moving forward, comes closer to the Magallanes Peninsula, in the opposite lake bank as well as footbridge and viewpoint area. This cycle takes from 4 to 6 years and it eventually separates the lake into two areas. Rico Bend is dammed up and it increases about 35 m over its average level. Its water slowly pierces its way through the glacier snout until it makes it fall down. This show is breathtaking.
Overnight Stay at the Hotel in El Calafate.

Hi Gouri, Just letting you know that we had another great trip, everything ran like clockwork with no problems! The hotels were of a very high standard as usual could not fault a thing! The Aureum Palace in Bagan was our favourite it was out of this world also the balloon ride was well worth doing,a must if you are in Bagan. The Burmese people were so friendly and there was so much to see and do. Myanmar is somewhere we would recommend to everyone to go. Thanks for organizing another great…
