El Calafate is another touristy town in Patagonia Argentina filled with fancy chocolate shops, clothing boutiques and a casino that actually charges admission just so you can get inside and lose your money gambling. Needless to stay, this has not been my favorite stop here in South America. There is one really amazing site here, however, and that is the 60 meter high Perito Moreno glacier which is spectacular enough to look at, but made even more incredible as it is constantly shedding huge chunks of itself thunderously into the freezing waters below. It is a live show that hundreds of tourists a day fork over their pesos to witness. I did encounter this budding photographer as well which was pretty neat.
