Calafate and Perrito Moreno

So I ended up catching up with Baptista and Emmanuel in Calafate. From the few days I was there it seems like a nice place, probably a little too busy in the high season though. Its on the edge of a huge lake full of flamingos and surrounded by snow capped mountains. Probably the biggest attraction nearby is Perrito Moreno, a huge glacier and apparently one of only three that are still growing (supposedly the other two are in New Zealand). It really was an amazing thing to see, I got to put on crampons and hike on it as well as see a huge chunk break off while I was on the platform over looking it. The hostel ¨America del Sur¨ is a really nice place to stay but again probably a little much come high season.
