After a farily tedious and VERY uncomfortable flight we arrived in El Calafate to start our time in Patagonia. Highlights: 'I Keu Ken', the hostel. The staff were amzing and we had an incredible Asado (BBQ!) there one evening. Very sociable and where we met Matt and Kinga who would be our travel buddies for the next week. The glacier!
