Itinerary

  1. Lake Argentino is the third largest lake in South America. Surrounded by mountains and nourished by giant glaciers, this side dazzles everyone with its immensity and inexplicable color. It was precisely this azure blue color, the mountains covered in white, and a sky also azure blue that motivated Francisco Perito Moreno to baptize him Argentino. Nativo Experience is a half-day 4×4 tour along the coast of Lake Argentino. Ideal for the day of arrival or departure, it has an anthropological focus, in which we will travel through time, rediscovering the stories of the first expeditions and the men who ventured into the unknown.

About El Calafate

El Calafate is a small Patagonian town on the shore of Lago Argentino, the base for the Perito Moreno Glacier and Los Glaciares National Park.

El Calafate lies on the south shore of Lago Argentino, a milky turquoise lake fed by glacial meltwater, with the Andes on the western horizon. The town is named after the calafate, a thorny shrub with dark berries, and a local saying promises that anyone who eats them will return to Patagonia. It was founded in the 1920s to serve the surrounding sheep estancias and now exists chiefly as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park.
