VISITING PERITO MORENO GLACIER & EL CALAFATE // ARGENTINA TRAVEL VLOG

El Calafate is in the Patagonia region of Argentina and is the nearest city to the incredible Perito Moreno Glacier. In this video we visit this natural wonder, but beforehand we show you around the town of El Calafate, Argentina. El Calafate is a quaint town that has been fitted to accommodate the many tourists who flock here to view the Perito Morino Glacier and for those who stop in the town before heading to EL Chalten, which is the closest access point to hikes in Patagonia and the infamous Mt. Fitz Roy (yes, we visited Fitz Roy, but we did not make a video about it! Check out our Instagram highlights if you want to see more about our camping trip and sunrise hike up to Mt. Fitz Roy). In El Calafate we show you the streets and shops, go inside an Argentinian grocery store to grab some snacks, and visit the serene Laguna Nimez Nature Reserve. We've also included some drone shots of El Calafate to give you an aerial view of this beautiful town situated next to Lago Argentino; Argentina's deepest and biggest lake!

On our second day in the El Calafate area we head to Perito Moreno Glacier by bus and view the glacier from the boardwalks and by boat. Perito Morino Glacier (or Glaciar Perito Moreno) is the only glacier in the world that is growing as quickly as it is receding, and it seems huge when you get up close to it! The glacier calves (chunks of the glacier fall off) every 10-15 minutes which is one of the things that makes this glacier so unique! Our favourite part of this day was the boat ride to get up close to the glacier - it is definitely a highlight of our time in Argentina!

While we explore El Calafate and Perito Moreno Glacier we share with you the costs of the excursion and also show you what a private hostel room looks like for anyone else who is interested in visiting this wonderful part of the world!

Just back from Patagonia. We found a couple of tour agencies have their counters at El Calafate Main Bus station selling guided day tours to Perito Moreno glacier at reasonable price. We booked with one of them for ARS 7600 per person and found that quite good. You can still do the boardwalk around the glacier on your own but as added benefit, you can skip the line for buying entry ticket to the park. As a side note, all restaurants in El Calafate charge a cover charge per person for eating in, not a deal breaker but bit surprising for someone visiting from North America. You get to pay for drinking water too.

Did you guys do the Perito Moreno Trekking?

Walk over the glacier is a unique experience!

Great to see you and "AJ" had a beautiful trip to see the glacier. It's one of the must see things our friends have recommended and they did say the glacier trekking was totally worth the price. Maybe next time you'll get to go since you guys ate the berries and now will one day return.
