Perito Moreno Glacier

Stayed in El Calafate for 2 nights at the Hostel de Las Manos for 50pesos a night.  The hostel was small with a poor enough breakfast but the staff were nice, we were collected at the bus stop at 1am and brought to the hostel for free as we had booked in advance.  The only reason we stopped in El Calafate was so we could go see the Moreno glacier and it did not disappoint.  The bus to the glacier cost 100pesos return with a further entry fee of 100pesos into the park.  The drive to and the area around the glacier was very scenic and the glacier itself was spectacular.  Seeing some huge chunks of ice break off the glacier and the noise from it as it moved was awesome. Leaving El Calafate now to go to Bariloche the total cost of travel to go to Bariloche from Ushuaia was 917pesos including the bus to and from the glacier.  Check out my YouTube for more vids of the Glacier.
