In the first 40 km the Patagonian steppe is crossed, later passing the entrance of the National Park to observe the arboreal vegetation mostly belonging to the “notofagus” family (ñires, cherries, lengas) and the occasional cinnamon, and flowers of different colors, among which the notor stands out for its intense red color corresponding to the Andean Patagonian Forest.

4. From the beginning the trip has pleasant surprises. Leaving the Town, on the right we can see the Argentino Lake with its Round Bay. In it you can see an important variety of birdlife, highlighting the black-necked swan, flamingo, steam duck, gallareta, cauquén. The yellow color of the field stands out, this is due to its grasses called coirón, and among them it stands out, the white coirón and petiso. Arrive at "the curve of sighs" called this way because it is the first point where we have a panoramic view of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Short stop to take pictures and continue to Puerto Bajo las Sombras.

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.
