Itinerary

We pick up our passengers at their accommodation. Estancia 25 de Mayo has 17,000 hectares of land, and its old house is located just a few steps from the center of El Calafate, the city has grown and arrived very close to one of the oldest estancias in the entire region. The place is ideal for resting and enjoying the landscape at the foot of Cerro Calafate. A proposal to discover the rural side of the destination in this great pioneering Patagonian essence.

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.
