| This is outside of the glacial park….. much of Patagonia in this region has a terrain like this…... |
After our day of meetings in El Calafate, we had an extra day before Hermano Tossen could meet up with us. Presidente Guibe told us that we must see the Perito Moreno Glacier, so we made arrangements to do so! We had the hotel make up a sack lunch for us so that we could picnic in the cold and watch the glacier! A small tour van picked us up at our hotel and we drove about an hour outside of El Calafate to the glacier. This glacier is the third largest in the world and is truly a magnificent sight.
 |
| This glacier is almost 300 km. deep and about 90 km wide! |
 |
| The very beautiful "fire bush" had just begun to bloom and they were gorgeous! There is a sweet Hummingbird that is attracted to the "honey" in the blooms and the hummingbird also has a red head! Our guide told us that the honey was very sweet and delicious. |

The blue tinge of the ice was absolutely breath-taking….

All of the people in the Patagonia Region, in particular, are very proud of their country and it's beauty. They are always very anxious to show us and tell us about beautiful and amazing Patagonian sights. We have learned a great deal about the region not only by seeing sights first hand buy by further discussing what we saw with our new Argentine friends!
