Day 12 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.
Breakfast Included
Overnight stay at the Hotel in El Calafate.

We will also do a short walk along the shore of the lake to try to see one of the inhabitants of the park: the beavers; and also will reach Lapataia bay, located at the end of National route Nº3 and 3063 km from the city of Buenos Aires. We depart from the Ushuaia’s municipal camping site. This is the departing point for the trains which, then, follow the winding Pipo River edge that goes into Tierra del Fuego National Park. This is the same route as the prison train used to take. Here we can appreciate the used tree trunks: loyal witnesses of that time when Ushuaia used to be a penal colony. Some very funny carriages from the beginning of last century take us to revive a part of this land history.
