Today we drive northeast through the park crossing the border into Argentina and on to our hotel in El Calafate. A long day – 8 hours of driving. A lot of the drive follows Lake Sarmiento the largest lake in the park and also the only lake in the park which is not glacier fed. Winds were so strong that it developed dirt devils along the water. The scenery speaks for itself. A quick photo stop was made at Lake Torro. A brief stop at Cascada Paine was a welcome stretch of the legs. We continued north along the Amarga Lagoon just outside the park – along the way we stopped to see a heard of guanacos. We arrived at El Carafate for a very late dinner.
