Welcome to one of the most incredible and beautiful regions in all of Patagonia. El Calafate and El Chalten attract hikers, adventurers, and explorers that come from all corners of the globe to experience the towering peaks and stunning natural landscapes that abound in this southern part of Argentine Patagonia. El Calafate is a charming Alpine-esque town which many travelers in the region used as a base to explore the Patagonian wilderness, and to venture to Glacier National Park, where the world famous Perito Moreno glacier is located. El Calafate takes its name from a local berry, which can be seen in the bushes and brambles that cover much of the area and the national park.
