 In El Calafate you will find yourself at the gateway to the majestic world of glaciers.
This town is near Lake Argentino, a green water surface covering 1600 km2, with a length of 60 km., a width between 12 and 14 km., and depths from 35 m. in Feruglio on the coast and centre, to 300 m. in the Avellaneda Peninsula. El Calafate connects you with the most unknown and magical of our geography. The writer and journalist Germán Sopeña in his book La Patagonia Blanca, Ed. Elefante Blanco, describes this region as follows: "The viewpoint cannot be better. It is almost the prow of a ship from where we see everything around.
From El Calafate, you can go on excursions by bus or in modern ships. Expert bilingual guides and travel agencies organize tours and outings to the classical viewpoint of the Perito Moreno Glacier or the audacious expeditions to cross the glaciers. |
