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.

Argentinian Gaucho Tour with Signature Tours
While there are so many attractions in Buenos Aires not to be missed, our time in Argentina would not be complete without visiting the luscious countryside.
Just a two hour drive outside of the city we visited Estancia El Ombú de Areco, a ranch to experience the gaucho life. A gaucho is a skilled horseman who becomes one with his horse through the practice of gentle horse whispering.
During our tour we had the opportunity to ride horses, enjoy a Argentine meat BBQ, watch some traditional dancing and of course try some famous Argentinian wine!

Patagonia: A Trip of a Lifetime
If you are looking for the ultimate adventure, I would suggest Patagonia. In February we made our way south and explored all Patagonia had to offer across Chile and Argentina. Not only did we see some of the most amazing sights but we also got to hike glaciers, climb mountains, and ride horses in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. The rawness of the landscape is impossible to describe hopefully this video does it justice. Check out the blog post for all the details on this trip.

Nuit à l’entrée du parc juste devant l'embarcadère du catamaran.
Dimanche 4 mars
Torres del Paine : catamaran de Pudito au refugio Paine Grande (départ 9h00, pas de résa en avance. Environ 30 000 pesos l’Aller retour qui dure 30 minutes l’aller)
Rando de Paine Grande jusqu’au camping Italiano (environ 4h). On pose nos affaires au camping puis on monte au Punto de Vista Valle Frances (environ 3h aller retour, on n'ira pas jusqu'au bout). Bilan de la journée : 20 kms, top!
Nuit au camping frances à 3 dans une tente.
Lundi 5 mars
Route retour vers le cata (4h) et on essaye d’aller au mirador du Lago Grey et revenir pour reprendre le cata (attention dernier à 18h35) NB : trop de vent, on se pose à l’hotel en face du glacier avec des bonnes bieres. Pas du tout excessif comme prix.
Retour au van et on décide de tirer direct en Argentine, la météo est pas la meilleure pour les Tours.
Passage rapide à la douane pas loin du parc. Beaucoup de vent sur la route, on s'arrête dans une ville paumée pour prendre une douche dans un pseudo restaurant hôtel...que des camions qui viennent faire le plein d'essence, pas fou. On continue la route et grâce à notre appli Ioverlander on trouve où dormir, dans un stop de cyclistes AVGP. Accueil très sympa de Mario, on finira par bouger le van dans son hangar tellement le vent souffle!
Mardi 6 mars
On arrive dans la matinée à El Calafate qui nous fait au début rêver avec toutes ses boutiques. Mais finalement très touristique. On va chercher les tickets pour notre rando sur le Perito Moreno et on se pose un peu. Nuit agréable au camping Ovejero, douche chaude.
Mercredi 7 mars
Départ pour El Chalten et le fameux Fitz Roy.
La météo n'est pas au top, on s'arrêtera au premier mirador.
Soirée très sympa au restaurant la Oveja Negra, on n'arrive même pas finir la Parilla.

Vendredi 9 mars
Départ tôt pour le Perito Moreno (2h de trajet), mini trekking sur le glacier avec Big Ice et journée dans le parc (entrée parc Tarifa General 20 euros). On passe des heures sur les passerelles, incroyablement enchanteur.
Sur la route du retour vers la frontière chilienne on tombe en fin de journée sur le ranch d'Esteban, pommé en pleine nature. L'Estancia Rio Mitre nous charme totalement par surprise. Pas d'autres touristes, viande dans la cheminée et nuit sous la tente dans le jardin. Au top!
Une autre planète.
