Why go
Ice that thunders
Stand in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier and wait: sooner or later a slab of ice breaks away and hits the lake with a roar.
Granite at the end of the trail
Long day hikes from El Chaltén to the foot of Fitz Roy, and in Torres del Paine up to the three towers. The last climb is steep; the view pays it back.
The empty south
Hours of open steppe, with guanacos and rheas for company, out to the old volcanic craters of Pali Aike.
Magellan and the penguins
Cross the Strait of Magellan to Tierra del Fuego, where a colony of king penguins stands around on the shore.
