Perito Moreno is the only inland glacier that is still growing. It comes down to 180 m over sea level and stops in the biggest lake in Argentina. There are more facts that are very impressive but the most impressive is the spectacle it makes.
It makes a constant sound, it's cracking, breaking, falling into the water and splashing. At the same time it's showing amazing colours, beautiful turquoise and all other shades of blue and white. It just feels like the glacier was alive, strong and fighting.
It makes a magical enchaning spectacle which you just can't stop admiring with a smile and your eyes and mouth wide open.

You have composed a great page about El Calafate, Magda! I've been there myself about 8 months ago, and agree with everything that you have written about this place. Bye from The Netherlands!

A fantastic account of your experiences in this exotic destination!! It must have been mind-blowing to have been so close to a calving glacier! I really enjoyed your page.
A perfect page! Maggie, you probably want to lead me to a heart attack! I envy you so much! Wonderful, fantactic pictures, pure beauty! My congratulations!
Sure, you tasted the berries but what about other local delights? ;> The town center really has changed. I'll have to get back there one day.
