Glacier Perrito Moreno.



Yes we survived the 27 hours of bus from bariloche to Rio Gallegos...and we even did better taking a connection to El Calafate combining a total of 31 hours yeah! Buses are nice and even if the landscape is monotonous for 2000km (only desert, no trees, no mountains, a few sheeps) the trip pases pretty fast.
El Calafate is on the slope of the Southern part of the Andean moutains, and is not as charming as Bariloche but has some similiraties. From there we went to visit the most famous natural attraction of Argentina, the immense glacier of Perrito Moreno.
We rented a car and headed toward the park arriving there by 5pm when all the tourist tour bus were going back. On our way to the look out point every turn of the road was releasing a little more of this magnificient landscape. We stared in front of this impressive mass of ice extending from the horizon and ending in the water of the light green lake for the next 5 hours, seeing 4 huge pieces crushing into the water and listening to the continous groawling ice. We then camped in this same park quite illegaly but it was fun and the next day we could go and appreciate this natural beauty for another few hours at sunrise.
In the afternoon we gave the car back and we started our hitchhiking adventure. yay! i´ll continue later because now i have to visit Buenos Aires, a little hungover. yay! cheers! (here I come again after almost a month). So yes we wanted to hictchhikke but being successless we renounced and took the bus to Puerto Natales...back to Chile.
