Building on its must-visit location, the once-tiny El Calafate has grown quickly to cater to and profit from the visitors to nearby Los Glaciares National Park. Many visit to see such natural wonders as Perito Moreno Glacier, a massive glacier that’s actually composed of many other pieces of shifting ice. Yet travelers will find that El Calafate is much more than merely a gateway to the Patagonian wild—it’s a fun town offering all sorts of outdoor adventures.

Private tranfer to head to the turistic attraction. Stopping by to take picture and optimazing your time here in Calafate and Chalten
Alex was phenomenal. We were twin 11 year old boys and mom and dad with a mix of excellent spanish/english and no Spanish/English. We had made zero plans before we got to Calefate. Alex stepped in and helped with it all -- easily blending English and Spanish to make us all feel at ease. She helped us set up the glacier trekking, horseback riding, restaurant reservations and souvenier shopping. Everything she recommended, down to the out of the way non-touristy afternoon treks -- was everything we did not even know we wanted! Couldn't recommend more highly.

Located in Glacier National Park, this 15,000-year-old lake is the largest in Argentina.
The colors were stunning and it truly is a wonderful lake next to the airport as you fly in! You can also take short or long boat trips out to see the various glaciers,

Estancia 25 de Mayo cuenta con 17.000 hectáreas de campo, y su antiguo casco queda ubicado a pasos del centro de El Calafate, un lugar ideal donde poder descansar y disfrutar del paisaje al pie del Cerro Calafate, respirando el más puro aire patagónico. Una propuesta para descubrir el costado rural del destino en esta gran estancia pionera.
I wasnt too sure about booking this tour however so glad I did. The Estancia was very beautiful . Got to know a lot about the everyday routine at the farm. Also tasted some good coffee made by dunking a smokey charcoal, mulled wine and snacks before the big fiesta we had for dinner. Dinner was delicious and much more impressive then expected. Alcoholic beverages are extra however very reasonably priced. I had a fund evening and would recommend this tour for everyone.
