Trekking on a glacier Perito Moreno Easter Argentina. The Argentine Easter vacation begins today, it is fall, April 1st, and looking outside the weather is going to be a little overcast, but very pleasant!
Stay in a remarkably tranquil Buenos Aires estancia and enjoy horse riding across the Pampas, small game hunting in season or just walk for a far as the eye can see and enjoy being one with nature with not another soul in sight for many hours – this is gaucho country! Lounge by the pool with a good book or accompany the dogs as they wander the estate marking their territory and exploring every nook and every cranny.
We recently spent three days relaxing at the Santa Maria de Lobos Polo Club at Casa de Lord – Polo Estancia No. 1, so-named because it overlooks the Santa Maria de Lobos Polo field number one. Close enough to watch polo matches, but far enough away for privacy and seclusion.

El Calafate is a small Patagonian village on the shore of the breathtaking lake Lago Argentina. Known as the national capital of the glaciers, El Calafate is an important tourist destination as it serves as the gateway to the majestic world of glaciers and to Los Glaciares National Park which includes the amazing Perito Moreno Glacier (one of the most popular and visited glaciers in the world). There are two other lesser-known, but spectacular Glaciers – Cerro Chalten and Cerro Torre.
