The second part of the trip was to the Patagonia region of Argentina, which is at the bottom of the map. This was the coldest part of the trip and that wind is very humbling. We stayed in a town called El Calafate which was a short drive from the infamous Perito Moreno Glacier. Even in Iceland I did not get to see a glacier like this, it was incredible. At first it was sleeting but then the sun came out. There is a boat tour you can do but we decided not to and just walk the pathways in front of the glacier instead. On our free day in El Calafate, we did horseback riding up a mountain and the views was insane. We explored the little downtown area and had some wine and more wine. There are other day trips from this area but they're very long so we stayed in town. Two days was more than enough here. As we flew back north to see the falls, we connected in the worlds most southern airport, Ushuaia, and that is by far the coolest flight I've ever taken! Here are my photos from the Glacier and even Edwin makes an appearance...
