MINITREKKING TOUR OF THE PERITO MORENO GLACIER & EL CALAFATE

The Perito Moreno gletsjer is one of the most famous sights of Patagonia. The gletsjer is part of the third largest ice sheet in the world, after Greenland and Antartica. It is relatively easy to visit this gletsjer and even by not doing a trek you can come really close to the gletsjer. We booked a minitrekking tour of this gletsjer, which is definitely a must when you are in Patagonia!

“DOING” TORRES DEL PAINE WITHOUT AN OVERNIGHT STAY IN THE PARK

I knew that when we would visit Patagonia I had to see Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. Ever since I had seen pictures of the Torres del Paine lagoon, this place was high on my must-visit list! Torres del Paine is mostly known for its extensive treks, with people spending up to a week in the park, trekking everyday and staying in tents. Being an unexperienced hiker, that seemed a bit over-ambitious and trekking with a tent on my back didn’t seem very desirable either. I therefore did some research about how we could do day treks in Torres del Paine and get to see the most of the park in a short amount of time. We spent two full days in the park and were in awe of the amazing beauty of this place!

EXPLORING THE DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS OF BUENOS AIRES

We loved visiting Buenos Aires, it is definitely worth visiting for the amazing neighborhoods. The capital of Argentina has a strange mix of French, Italian and Spanish architecture with a bit of New York thrown in there for the big city feel 😉 By visiting the different neighborhoods you can get a good feel of Buenos Aires, each neighborhoods has its own quirks, but somehow it all works together. We spent a total of four nights in the city, which was perfect for doing all the things that were on our to-do-list in this vibrant city. I wrote a paragraph specifically about the food in Buenos Aires, because we pretty much ate our way through Argentina.
