The Glaciers of El Calafate

Argentina  | El Calafate  |  2 Nights

Exceptional Experiences

  • Be amazed by the magnificence of Argentine Glaciers
  • Watch the glaciers and the national park from the catwalks
  • Navigate among the icebergs

 

Venture deep into the frozen lands of Patagonia and experience part of the region’s continental shelf, a huge stretch of ice that spans across a distance of 350km from the Argentinian province of Santa Cruz into Chile. 

It wouldn’t be Patagonia without beautiful mountain ranges, deep forests and large lakes, but what makes El Calafate such a unique place are its imposing, visually-stunning glaciers. Move through the Los Glaciares National Park on land and water to observe these gigantic bodies of ice up close. 

The journey is treat to the eyes, with the deep turquoise of the glaciers, white of the ice and the yellow-green of the lands and mountains nearby making for an unforgettable scenic experience. Walking along catwalks and observing from various lookout points, you’ll see and hear the cracking of the ice as large portions break and fall off. You’ll get a strong sense of the sheer size of these natural wonders, as they seemingly move and change before your very eyes, making for some amazing photo opportunities. 

Expect to be struck by the beauty of El Calafate and its awe-inspiring glaciers, an experience not to be missed if you’re traveling to Argentina’s south.
