HFF everybody!

A windy twilight in El Calafate

When in El Calafate we visited the Laguna Nimez reserve, which concentrates a varied sample of local wildlife. This ecological environment lodges an educational circuit with trails and signposts laid up along over 2,500 meters. The reserve has good vantage points that enable visitors to watch flamingoes, geese, silvery grebes, black-necked swans, ibis, lapwings, ducks, coots, hawks and chimangos, among other 70 species.

The Perito Moreno Glacier( 250 km² ice formation, 30 km in length), is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field in the Andes system shared with Chile.
