九月十八日(kugatsu jyuhachi nichi): September 18

I joined the "Todo Glaciares" tour. They picked me up at the hotel at 7:15 AM and came back around 5:30 PM.
It is the sailing tour of visiting the Upsala Glacier, the largest one in Argentina with 800 k㎡, Spegazzini Glacier with walls up to 135 meters high, and the world famous Perito Moreno Glacier.
It was very cold and windy on the boat. But the scenery was so wonderful. Glaciers were so beautiful.
After coming back I walked around the town. El Calafate is a small town. The shops and restaurants are open until late which is good for tourists.
I enjoyed the local food and Mate tea at the restaurant where the travel agency included the coupon of the welcome drink and 10% off.
