El Chalten to El Calafate

In the town of El Chalten, with the iconic Mt. Fitzroy in the background. If you think the shape looks familiar, then look at the Patagonia logo on your favorite Patagonia sportwear. Yes, it’s one and the same.
Goodbye to El Chalten

Guanacos on the horizon
Passing by Lago Viedma, one of a number of huge lakes formed by glaciers
It’s a joy to be riding at dawn (the colors were not enhanced; those are the colors we saw)
…. as the morning progressed.
The South American gray fox (Lycalopex griseus), also known as the Patagonian fox
Also spotted a Rhea and her five chicks. Also known as a ñandu or South American ostrich.
My favorite shot of a guanaco in their habitat
Coming into El Calafate. The town is to the left, in the far distance. Lago Argentino is to the right. The mountains in the Southern Ice Field are in the far distance.
