After 2.5 interesting (and hot and humid) days in Buenos Aires, we got up at 4 am this morning to catch our 6:40am flight to Rio Gallegos. Got to the regional airport without hassles, got checked-in (and paid our reasonable excess luggage fee) in record time, had breakfast, boarded our plane, and landed in Rio Gallegos after a 3 hour flight.
We were met by Adrian from Riestra Rental Cars, got our mean looking Toyota Hilux, checked out our hotel reservation for the 31st and were on the road towards El Calafate by 11:30.
The drive was good and the views got more interesting the closer we got to El Calafate. We caught our first glimpse of beautiful Lago Argentino just before 3pm and got to our hotel around 3:30pm. Checked in and went for a walk around town. Totally set up for tourism, what with everyone here wanting only one thing and that is to visit the Glaciers, with the Perito Moreno Glacier spanning the crown. And that’s what we’re doing tomorrow.
Greetings from El Calafate, Argentina.
