More pictures

[Beach rocks on Valdez Peninsula]

[The view of the glacial lake, Lago Argentino, around El Calafate]

[Perito Moreno glacier from a distance]
[View from the perfect campsite at Lago Roca]
[Self timer while completing my travel log at Lago Roca campsite.  Not intended to be a still life but nonetheless looks considerably more posed than I intended.  Probably one of the best moments of my trip.]

[Perito Moreno glacier from half-way up Cerro Crystale.]

[The entrance to the beautiful village of El Chalten.  Little did we know that this was the clearest view of Fitz Roy (tallest peak in the background) we would get during our three days there.]

[Holy glacial landscape!  Hiking our first day in El Chalten.  On the way to Laguna de los Torres]


[Self timer lakeside]

[Equally beautiful scenery the next day on the way to Tres Lagos outside of El Chalten.]

[Back in the desert.  The beautiful canyon at Cueva de Las Manos.]

[7,000 year old cave paintings.  There are hands of all sizes and in many colors and, as you can see, at all heights on the rock.  Dating of the paint shows that this artistic or spiritual traditions continued for thousands of years.]

[The only six fingered hand]

[More of the beautiful canyon.]

[The second petrified forest.]
[More trees turned to stone.]

[Beer sampler at the microbrewery in El Bolson.  Yum!]
