Luck you! The drive was through MIL Outdoor Adventures – we booked through their office in downtown El Calafate – it’s easily found on the main drag near their beige Land Rovers with a MIL logo on them. Unfortunately I do not recall the name of our guide, or which exact excursion we booked.

Their website (spanish) is http://www.miloutdoor.com, and they have a list of their trips (also in Spanish) here

Have a great time – El Calafate was just wonderful.

I don’t suppose that you remember who you arranged it through? Or that you have recalled the name of the guide?

I was looking for some images on the web site and suddenly appears this blog, I can tell you it’s amazing how nicely you can describe our town, because I’m from El Calafate. And this is so much interesting: I worked at hotel Kau Yatun last summer (december to march), so when y saw the gaucho photograph I imediatly recognice him, also the habppy hour snack because I was the bartender there. All that make me want to sign this blog, maybe with a poor english vocabulaty, but I hope you could understund. Nice to see the photographs, really weell shots.

Montucky: Thank you kindly!

Bernie: Yes, well we DID have a couple of drinks at the bar before dinner, an aperitif, and a bottle of wine between us ;-)

It would probably take a bottle of wild turkey for me to be able to sit thru that bit of entertainment !! ;)

It would be awesome to take a trip like this someday, your are so fortunate !!

I love the shot of the Carancho. The ruggedness of the hawk truly symbolizes the ruggedness of the land it resides in. I cannot wait for the next installment of your story.
