Calafate

Set on the shores of Lago Argentino, El Calafate is the perfect base to explore Patagonia’s icy wonders. Its crown jewel is the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the few in the world still advancing—where towering walls of ice crash into the lake with thunderous force. Beyond glacier trekking and boat tours, the town offers charming artisan shops, Patagonian cuisine, and access to nearby adventures like Lago Roca, Estancia Cristina, and the vast Los Glaciares National Park. El Calafate is where the wild beauty of southern Argentina truly comes to life.
