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. --- my travel equipment --- insurance http://www.back-packer.org/worldnomads_versicherung packing list http://www.back-packer.org/patagonia-packing-list-trekking/ Online Language Course http://www.back-packer.org/babbel_eng The whole trip was executed over the course of 2 months using mostly local transport such as busses, cars and trucks.
