- We're finally travelling to El Calafate, the land of glaciers, icebergs and snow in Patagonia, Argentina! In this travel vlog, we'll show you the journey there. It was a 4-hour bus trip from Río Gallegos to El Calafate and we were treated to some beautiful scenery along the way, ranging from Patagonian steppe to snow-capped mountains in the horizon.
Once we arrived in town, we went in search of food and had a trout dish with blue cheese, potatoes and pasta. We ate at a restaurant called 'Isabel' that specializes in dishes cooked on a 'plough disc', which is a traditional way of cooking that has its roots in the farming and agricultural communities.
Then it was time to book some tours from El Calafate. We really wanted to visit estancias and see the glaciers up close, so we booked a few different excursions, which you'll be seeing in the next episodes!
Lastly, we'll sit down to share our first impression of El Calafate, and we'll also give you a tour of the A-frame cottage we rented in town.

Confession time: who else makes the bed and tidies the hotel room before leaving?! 😅🛌
I tidie the hotelroom but i don't make the bed. In fact when i leave my hotelroom it is tidier then my bedroom at home 😂
OMG, my hubby! This is absolutely his thing☺ I think if you make the bed it is more work for the cleaning person.
Yes, I always tidy the bathroom.
I´m thumbing this up on my wife´s behalf. She´s ALWAYS doing that!
Yes I tidy up it's just to be polite!
You really can't have too much cheese!!!!! I can hear the screams of the food police when they see you putting cheese on fish!! Brings joy to my soul. I really need to go to Argentina.
Can never eat enough cheese! Yes please!
Good Afternoon :)
Wow another beautiful Trip by Sam & Audrey bring it on!!!
Thank you so much Maria!
Trout🐟👍 fishing would be top on my list in that part of the world. Really famous
Thanks Aaron! People come from all over to enjoy fishing in Patagonia.
I like the cottage in El Calafate. 💜 I guess it's OK when not windy. Kids will love climbing up those stairs.
Hehe, it was actually fine once that wind storm died down! We were still getting used to the extreme weather in Patagonia.
The food looks sooo good - starting with the bread!!!
Thanks! It was delicious.
You couple are so organized that I can imagine your home must be very tidy.
Thanks James! To be honest we're quite messy...hahah
Bread just out of the oven is so good 12:20 . The main meal was very good too. Trout, blue cheese, potatoes.
Nothing like hot bread!
That food looked great and it was affordable for two people without a doubt. I always look forward to your video content n started back through the earlier ones cuz it's like watching a new video after you forget what happened after a while
Thanks Justin! We'll try to have more videos out soon.
@@samuelandaudrey I'm sure the content will be great when the new video comes out but in the meantime you've got so many videos that they are new and fresh even then
It must be wonderful to be enjoying nice food at the ends of the earth! 🐟🧀 Have a lovely adventure, so much beautiful scenery yet to come! 🏔
Thank you so much!
Every time I see the food on your videos I get so hungry lol great video guys .........hope you are safe we just had our curfew lifted 8 PM till5 AM .........after 5 months
Thank you very much Effie! So glad to hear that. Cases in general are going down these days...whew!
Just love the absolute quality videos you upload, so great to watch here in Cape Town, South Africa. Really enjoy the fabulous food that you showcase. Enjoy your stay there. Safe travels. Take care.
Perdón Amigos!, por ser sábado me quedé dormido 🙏🏻🙏🏻, pero aquí estamos!, like listo y ya viendo su hermoso video. We love you guys!. Somos Plinio, Luisa y Plinio Jr. desde Talcahuano, Chile!!
Muchas gracias!!!
Glaciers are such a wonder where ever they are. You had me at Trout and blue cheese 🧀
Thanks! Hahaha...trout and cheese ftw!
Once again a very very enjoyable video. Good job guys 👍
Thank you, Bianca! We're glad you enjoyed it. Wishing you a great weekend! 😊
Interesting to see that pilgrimage. Great video and spectacular scenery again you guys

We've got more videos coming, Julia! We're glad you're enjoying the Patagonia series. Have a great weekend!
@@samuelandaudrey I really enjoy your videos, YESSSS
Hi Samuel and Audrey !!what a nice trip !! I also leave the hotel rooms in order out of respect for the people who work there. I love it when you show the everyday things of travel! greetings from cold Buenos Aires and sorry for my english !
Thank you very much Adrian! Your English is great.
Love u people 😘🇦🇷😉👌, eso le qda en una muela a Samuel jeje...los amo.
Thanks Marisa!!!
@@samuelandaudrey thanks to u.😘
Love your sweater Audrey! I don't make the bed when I am leaving a hotel room. No point. No purpose. The bedsheets need to be changed for the next guests. Furthermore I don't want to trap sweat between the sheets. Better to air.
That makes sense!
So nice to see you guys travelling again
Thanks Krystal.
Always awesome to c u guys. Great video
Thank you very much!
Thanks guys. We are eating at Isabel.
That's great to hear! We hope you enjoy it. Happy travels in El Calafate! 😊
Bluecheese and trout did it taste good? Great vid 👍
It was a great combination! It was our first time trying that dish, but we really enjoyed it.
아름다운 인생을 즐기시네요.
If you're still in El Calafate, make sure you have El Calafate ice cream. It's so good! 😋
Thanks for the tip! Yum!
Hi there,
I absolutely love these adorable
Thank you very much!
Wow nice
Thank you! Cheers!
U from
I also made my bed and kept my room tidy and clean all the times when I travel. I don’t feel good to add burden to cleaning people.
That is great to hear Kay!
Keep it on, guys
Thanks Eugene!
With this video you answered quiet a few of my questions concerning overland travel in Patagonia. Also, nice to see your itinerary in Patagonian Argentina & Chile. Yesterday, June 1,2021 I checked on the bus connection Rio Gallegos to El Calafate. There is a daily bus but no current schedule!
Thanks Laurence! We took some long bus rides on that trip!
I've been to Argentina several times. Mostly in BA, Mendoza & Cordoba & a week in Bariloche (vía Puerto Montt). These Patagonia videos & the Mar del Plata video have opened my eyes to this beautiful region! I am 78, retired, divorced, USA businessman who splits his time between my two sons, in Washington DC & Camaguey, Cuba. I have nobody to share my world travels & wine & food, so I go it alone! I walk with a cane so your treks are out but I am planning on doing BA then Mar del Plata then bus it down the east coast, maybe next year for 3 or 4 months! Sam, the lamb @ #in restaurant was super, right! You guys are so lucky to be compatible to share these adventures! I'm jealous! By the way, your dad is super!
I would spend most of each year in hotels as part of my work. I always made my bed and kept the room tidy. I did not expect to find people who feel that need beyond myself. Compulsive or eccentric...?
💕💕💕
Thanks LeAny!
At first i thought the meal looks like a poutine. :))
It reminded us of that a bit! Hahaha
I always leave a generous tip and I dont make the bed because they just tear it down.
That is a good tip!
That fish dish you got is almost like a casserole dish.
i've never seen someone cutting a loaf of bread like Audrey. I wonder if this will bring some additional taste experience to the bread...😉. Anyway - I will try it for sure...
Hehehe...a funny technique!
🤗🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘😘
Thank you!
Welcome🤗😘
Hello, I have a question. can you recommend a travel agency in Calafate? also better to buy the excursions when we are there. or you recommended to book online we are from the USA and we love your videos born in Buenos Aires
Love to see a video in Kochi Kerala India ..
Oh, we'd love to visit!
Police checkpoint? No doubt thanks to that red bearded gringo 😝
The cottage seems nice.
What was Audrey showing to that doggies? Mint? No wonder they refused😁
That red bonnet fits Audrey perfectly😍
You both seem to have had a wonderful time at that moment 👍
When there is an Audrey, it is a likey in YT 😄
Btw, hacer la cama en el hotel antes de marchar es un bonito gesto. ¿Tendrá esta chica defectos? 😱
And her English accent is so sweet...
Best wishes to both of you 👍
Greetings from Asturias.
thanks pedro
Hola! Fellow Cdn here coming to Argentina in Nov! We’ve booked BA, Mendoza, Cordoba, Iguazu. Might have 3 days left. Suggestions??
Sounds like a fun trip! Hmm, with your 3 free days maybe you can do Esteros del Iberá after Iguazú?
I don't full on "make the bed" in the hotel rooms, but I do pull up and straighten out the sheets and blankets. It is my way of making sure that none of our belongings are left behind in the sheets.
Sounds like a good system. We've found the occasional stray sock of ours!
I made a terrible mistake. I watched this when I was hungry. I almost tried to eat my phone during the comida al disco.
Sorry for that Rich!
❤️
THanks Deb!
I like it so much you movie
Thank you veyr much!
The translation into plow is not as absurd as it sounds. The original dish consists of a mixture of meats, which were previously prepared on discs that belonged to the plow.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing!
Perdón.. recién terminó de almorzar 2 platazos de ÑOQUIS ( en Argentina es tradición comerlos los días 29 ) y , , en Canada , comen ñoquis ??? 😳🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🙋♂️
Buen provecho! Sí comemos ñoquis, pero en Canadá no es tradición comerlos el 29.
@@samuelandaudrey gracias...!!! Los hicieron tricolor...de papa, espinacas y de remolachas....con salsa casera como le gusta Daniel...😋🙋♂️🇦🇷🙋♂️
👍👍🙏🙏
Thanks!
Is it safe to travel in Patagonia during pandemic? How is the virus situation there?
This trip was filmed pre-pandemic. Argentina's borders are still closed for international travel at the moment.
Is this what soulmates looks like?
?
Instead of making the bed, wouldn't it be a better idea to strip it all the way down to facilitate the serviceperson changing things out for the next occupant?
That would make more sense, but for me it's more about the place looking neat and tidy! 😅 It's just a habit.
:-)
Thanks Charles !
Understand that you can't refuse pet the dog's hope they have home's!
Some have homes and just roam the streets by day, and others are strays but they are looked after by business owners and restaurants in the area. All the pups we met were so friendly and we could tell some weren't hungry when they refused our dog treats.
Please stop making beds in hotels. When you leave the bed made up, the housekeeper does not know it has been slept in and does not change the sheets. The people following you into that room are now sleeping on your dirty sheets. if you really want to help, strip the bed and put all the dirty sheets and towels in an easy-to-pick-up pile. I am sitting in a hotel bed right now hoping that the sheets were changed. Not a good feeling. Other than that. Your videos are always so well done, informative and enjoyable. Thanks for what you do.
