Things to do in El Calafate, Patagonia: The Best Outdoor Activities

April 10, 2022 Velvet Mowry

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.

Reviewed By RhiPeacock

We had the most incredible time with Luciano at the estancia in El calafate! It was located in the most beautiful location just out of the town and Luciano picked us up and everything. Luciano was nothing but helpful and went above and beyond to help us and was so accommodating! The entire experience was amazing, we had the best time with the horses and we saw the most incredible views from the ride!!! It provides such a special, personal view of the surroundings and everything and Luciano made it so special for us! Luciano's hospitality, kindness and accommodating nature was amazing and created the most amazing trip with us with the best views of the entire region and glacier in panoramic view! Thanks so much!
