El Calafate: Gateway to Southern Patagonia and Majestic Glaciers

Nestled in Southern Patagonia, the charming town of El Calafate is renowned for its spectacular glaciers — Perito Moreno, Spegazzini, and Upsala. It serves as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park, offering breathtaking vistas of vast ice fields and towering icebergs.

We also offer cruises on Lake Argentino aboard a modern boat specially designed to approach the glaciers at a safe yet intimate distance. Our guests enjoy exclusive access to the VIP deck, accommodating just 16 people, for the utmost comfort while navigating between the icebergs. During the cruise, a gourmet lunch is served with breathtaking views of Southern Patagonia’s main attraction — the Perito Moreno Glacier.

In the evening, we offer the exclusive Nativo Experience tour.

First, you’ll embark on a thrilling 4×4 jeep ride along the shores of Lake Argentino. During the journey, your guide will share stories about the region’s history, early explorers, and indigenous peoples. Along the way, there will be opportunities to stop and capture photos at the most picturesque spots.

Upon arrival at the destination you will delve into paleontology to rediscover the stories of the first expeditions and daring adventurers who ventured into the unknown and left their mark on this region. The focus will be on the early encounters between explorers and the local Tehuelche indigenous people. On the lakeshore, ancient caves bear the traces of this culture — rock paintings thousands of years old — which we will endeavor to interpret. The tour culminates with a visit to another cave, where a cozy dinner by the fire awaits.

For the true adventurers, we offer an extraordinary experience — trekking across the stunning Perito Moreno Glacier wearing crampons. This group tour allows you not just to admire the glacier’s breathtaking grandeur, but to step onto its ancient ice, feel its powerful energy beneath your feet, and embrace the thrill of conquering one of nature’s most magnificent wonders.
