Day 1 – Travel to Patagonia: El Calafate

Most impressively, El Calafate is home to Perito Moreno Glacier, one of only several glaciers on earth still growing.
You’ll have the day to relax or explore on your on. Time permitting, take a hike to Laguna Nimez for a singular look at a Chilean Patagonia sunset.
