4-Day Tour of El Calafate and Los Glaciares National Park

What was once a wool-trading outpost lost in the immensity of Southern Patagonia is now El Calafate, an adventure and nature lover's paradise. Today it is one of the most popular destinations in Argentina.

For a unique experience, travel back in time to the Ice Ages and trek over the glacier Perito Moreno, with its impressive 60-meter high wall. It is the only known glacier in the world that is not receding. Then sail the Lake Argentino for more views of glaciers, such as the Upsala and its icebergs channel. Put your hiking shoes on and get ready for an amazing journey!
