Took a 7-o'clock bus from Puerto Natales to El Calafate (Argentina), and upon arrival there (13 o'clock) jumped almost immediately on a bus to visit the Perito Moreno glacier. After seeing the other blue and large Patagonian glaciers, Pio XI and Glacier Grey, Perito Moreno is not that surprising any more, but is probably the most impressive one.
The glacier has the height of a 20-storey building and every 10 minute or so a large piece of it falls off and splashes into the water. The glacier can be viewed only from the distance as it would be too dangerous to go close (between 1968 and 1988 32 people died being hit on the head by a piece of ice).
We have been here already for 4 hours and almost finished a bottle of Pisco Sour (0.7l, 20 deg, 1750 CLP at UniMarc in Puerto Natales). Will go back to El Calafate in an hour (20.30) and then think what to do next.
