Wednesday - El Calafate
Power up with breakfast at your hotel and then venture out on a full day tour to Perito Moreno Glacier, stopping in the Patagonian Andean Forest to see “Curva de los Suspiros” (Curve of Sighs). Perito Moreno is one of the few glaciers left on Earth that still continues advancing. Every 4 to 5 years it covers the gap between the mainland and itself and expands into Lago Argentino where the enormous pressure of the water causes it to crash with a thunderous noise. Declared a World Heritage Site, the glacier features catwalks along the front where you will have a chance to marvel at its natural beauty up-close. Later, return to Calafate for an evening at leisure. (B)
