The second part of our Patagonia trip brought us back to Argentina, first to El Calafate and then to El Chaltén. There we did day walks and bus trips to some of the most scenic places in Patagonia.

No 1 on the list of tourist attractions is Perito Moreno Glaciar near El Calafate:



Perito Moreno is of the biggest argentinian Glaciers of the Patagonia Ice Field, which is the third biggest ice mass after Antarctica and Grönland (350km long and up to 40 km wide):


This glacier wall is 60m high... but Perito Moreno is relatively small to the even bigger glaciers in Chile!





Near El Chaltén there is one of the highest and most prestigious mountains of the Patagonia region: Mount Fitz Roy


And right next to Fitz Roy there are the even more spectacular Cerro Torres
