Patagonia!! Puerto Madryn, El Calafate, and El Chalten

I went to Puerto Madryn to see the Penguins at Punta Tombo and the sea lions there. I saw thousands of penguins and kayaked with hundreds of sea lions! It was beautiful and really an amazing experience. I also went to El Calafate to climb the Perito Moreno Glacier (the biggest glacier in Los Glaciars National Park), and to El Chalten and ride horses through the mountain even getting a small glipse of Fitz Roy!
