Backpacking from Santiago de Chile down to Patagonia up to Iguazu Falls in 6 weeks

Whisky on the ROCKS ;-)

Today we went to the Perito Moreno Glacier. It’s really beautiful. Some moments you can hear loud cracks followed by massive pieces of glacier falling with great power into the water. It’s so hard to see from a distance or from above how high this glacier really is.

 

We booked also a mini trekking over the glacier. We were transported to the other side of the lake and crampons were fitted to our shoes. The glacier is so solid you could walk on parts where you see water streaming under it. I even stand on an ice pillar without breaking the pillar. After the hike we had a celebration with Whisky on the rocks, glacier rocks… :D
