An amazing trip. We were blessed with excellent weather which made it all the more special. The hikes were incredible with stunning scenery. The food and wine weren’t bad either!
Fantastic mountain scenery enjoyed through great walks, accompanied by perfect weather conditions of clear blue skys and warm sunshine in a part of the world where the phrase "four seasons in one day" is often used.
If you like red meat you are in for a treat, medium rare cooked stakes to die for and the lamb ain't bad either. I am not used to a what appeared a joint and rake of lamb in the one dish. All washed down with plentiful amounts of exceedingly good Malbec, the good value of the wine only makes you drink more but well it is a holiday afterall.
There are some long drives but to see the best of what Patagonia has to offer, it is a great way to travel. You have a long drive on day 10 and, when you get to the ferry strong winds may delay that 2km trip across the water for 2.5 hrs but don't worry, the cafe has plenty of beer.
A the end of the trip back in Buenos Aires, which on its own has beautiful architecture and worth a return trip to spend a few more days enjoying the sights, a tango show is a great way to finish the trip with a great stake and more of that Malbec.
The Perito Moreno Glacier is simply awesome. Having taken an hours boat tour to within 300 - 400 metres of the southern wall of the glacier our view from land in the National Park give a completely different perspective. Sailing close to the glacier and nearby icebergs earlier in the day, we had felt dwarfed by the majestic surroundings. Now the same boats appeared as small dots on the sea, they really were tiny in comparison to the glacier and incredible icebergs. Absolutely everything about this place is astounding. The size, the views, the sounds and smell of fresh air.
