We went by bus from El Chalten to El Calafate, both on the Argentina side. El Calafate looks like a ski resort with high end stores. It is definitively a different atmosphere than in El Chalten, the latter being more populated with hikers and backpackers. One of the reason to visit El Calafate is the proximity of a gigantic and sumptuous glacier called Perito Moreno. We also walked through "Laguna Ninez" reserve at the edge of El Calafate. I hope that you will enjoy the pics!

In a boat to reach the glacier trail - we will hike on the glacier :))
Witnessing the glacier advance - loud noise followed by ice detachment and fall into the water
