What to do and Where to stay in
Southern Patagonia

El Calafate, located on the southern shore of Lago Argentino, is the ultimate base for exploring Los Glaciares National Park, one of Argentina’s most iconic natural wonders. Just a short drive from town, the awe-inspiring Perito Moreno Glacier awaits—famous for its towering ice walls, vibrant blue hues, and thunderous ice calving into Lake Argentino. You can view the glacier from a network of boardwalks or get up close on a guided boat tour or even an ice trekking excursion for an unforgettable experience. Further north lies the rugged region of El Chaltén, Argentina’s trekking capital and home to the majestic Fitz Roy Massif—a dream destination for hikers and climbers. Together, these sights make El Calafate an unmissable stop for anyone exploring the wild beauty of Argentine Patagonia.
