Argentina tour – El Calafate, beauty and a visit to the Ice Bar

by Nanette Snel

It rained a lot overnight but this morning the sun came out! We are truly blessed.  Lunch here, visit to the Ice Bar this afternoon and an early evening flight back to Buenos Aires for one last visit before flying back to Canada on an overnight flight.  You can see by the trees that Fall has arrived here. There are still a few beautiful roses left on the bushes.  The statue is surveyor Perito Moreno. He determined the border between Chili and Argentina and was responsible for Argentina’s first National Park. The glacier we visited is named after him.

We visited The Ice Bar. You pay US $ 14.00 and it includes as many drinks as you want for precisely 25 mins.  The bar tender is slow…  It was great fun! Perfect way to spend an afternoon waiting for our shuttle to the airport . The  view is Beautiful!  Barren land and big open skies.
Goodbye Patagonia!
