El Calafate Perito Moreno Glacier Holidays & Tailor-made Tours

El Calafate - Gateway to Argentina's Glaciers

El Calafate is a charming town in the heart of Patagonia, named after a native bush with yellow flowers and dark blue berries known as the "calafate." Accodring to local legend, those who eat the berry are destined to return to Patagonia.

Situated on the banks of Lake Argentino, the town offers access to some of the region's most majestic landscapes. Towering mountains, floating icebergs, and advancing glaciers create an unforgettable scene on the horizon.

The most renowmed of these is the Perito Moreno Glacier - one of the few in the world still growing. It streches dramatically between two mountains, spilling into the lake. Viewing platforms on the opposite bank allow visitors to fully appreciate the immense size and dynamic movement of this living glacier.

Other glaciers, such as Upsala and Onelli, are reched by scenic boat excursions across Lake Argentino, offering yet more breathtaking views and chances to connect with Patagonia's frozen wilderness.
