El Calafate is located at Lago Argentino and is famous for the Perito Moreno glacier which is nearby. With its unique layout facing a peninsula you can get some of the most spectacular glacial views in the world. Several terraces have been built to provide several angles and to get up close.
We ourselves took a cab to the National Park Los Glaciares to have as much time as possible to take pictures, film and watch ice collapse from the front of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
This part of the trip was executed within 2 days and this is what we saw:
Southern Patagonian Ice Field
Perito Moreno Glacier / Glaciar Perito Moreno
Lago Argentino
El Calafate
Campo Hielo Sur
I'm excited to share all our experiences in Patagonia over the course of the next weeks with you. In the next episode we will do the full circuit in Torres del Paine and meet more impressive characters along the way.
The Patagonian Expedition is a 95% self funded video documentary project following my trip in 2012/2013. Our aim is to show you the beauty of the rather unknown parts in Patagonia alongside with the famous spots.
Beside beautiful landscape you can expect loads of information and our personal experiences and struggles along the way.

The whole trip was executed over the course of 2 months using mostly local transport such as busses, cars and trucks. A big thank you goes to Lufthansa for providing the flights into and out of South America in their new Premium Economy Class!

Argentina is the most diverse country in the world

[@Triadii]

This is a special part of the world hidden in west Argentina. I am definitely going there

[@globaltravelcamwonder4763]

Nature is a special gift.

[@BackPackerSteve]

True that!

Hola, es así, estos lugares tan amplios b para el pensamiento son únicos. Bello vídeo del Glaciar Perito Moreno, Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Gracias por estas imágenes. Solo hay un error: el comparto colapso del túnel del glaciar NO OCURRE CADA 4 AÑOS, ES IMPREDECIBLE. Les mando un gran abrazo desde El Calafate, Parque Nacional los Glaciares. Patagonia-Argentina. Soy artista plástica, me dedico a pintar los glaciares y Embajadora de Paz por UNESCO-Unicef!

Oh yeah - it took me a bit to get the editing done one the TdP episode (like all of the episodes from Patagonia are so time consuming to edit that I can hardly publish them on Thursdays)
