Flew to El Calafate today. The area here has little rain and looks much like the high deserts of America. El Calafate is named for the plant that grows in the area and has small berries. We tried them and found that they taste OK but are full of seeds and have a bad aftertaste. In the early evening we took a city tour and also toured the Walichu caves. Walichu is a local Indian name for bad spirits. There are original cave paintings from 8-9000 years ago. They have also reproduced cave paintings from other areas of Patagonia on the sides of these caves and cliffs.
