Argentina,
the second biggest state of
South America, has a surface
of 2.8 million square
kilometers. The country has
33 million inhabitants and
nearly half of them live in
the surroundings of Buenos
Aires, one of the most
cosmopolitan cities of the
world.
Argentina is a
fascinating land of
contrasts where the
exceptional is almost
commonplace. It’s home to an
abundant wildlife, enjoys a
unique culture, and delights
in an astonishing variety of
landscapes from tropical
rain forest in the north to
the remote vastness of the
Antarctic in the South.
Three big landscapes form
the country: the Andes in
the west, the northern and
western flatland as well as
the wide plains of Patagonia
in the South. The country
that is stretched in length
has three climatic zones:
tropic in the north,
moderate in the center and
polar in the extreme South.
The Indian aborigines only
live in the north-western
Andean region and in the
north-east province of
Misiones. The rest of the
population is mainly
composed of European
immigrants. The official
language is Spanish, but in
bigger towns English is also
quite common. |

The worker district La Boca is famous for its colourful tin-houses and its history as living district of Italian seamen and dock workers in the 19th century.

FRIDAY CALAFATE - PERITO MORENO - CALAFATE |
| | | | | (B/-/-)
• Full day tour Perito Moreno (seat-in-tour: together with other travellers)
Today guests will go on a full day tour to the Perito Moreno Glacier. After a drive through the National Park Los Glaciares one arrives all of a sudden in a forest full of colours, before one sees - equally unexpected - the glacier Perito Moreno. This is one of the few glaciers that is still growing. Every 4 to 5 years it covers the gap between the mainland and itself and grows into the Lago Argentino. Eventually the ice cannot resist the enormous pressure of the water and crashes with a frightening noise. One can watch this glacier spectacle every day when single ice blocks fall into the lake. Considering that the glacier is 5 km long and 70 m high one can imagine the noise this makes. Here we will have 2 hours to experience the glacier before driving back to Calafate.
