El Calafate is the gateway for Perito Merino Glacier and the southern regions of Parque Nacional Los Glaciares in Argentine Patagonia. The town itself while consisting of a decent central area of shops and restaurants is rapidly outgrowing its basic infrastructure. Various tourist lodgings and other services dot the landscape with no apparent plan for where the roads or utilities will come from. Also into the wild landscape of Patagonia, El Calafate is introducing casinos for added entertainment purposes (whether that is a good or bad thing is subject to debate).

Perito Merino Glacier is truly one of the fascinating sites of Patagonia. One of the few "stable" glaciers on the planet, Perito Merino Glacier dwarfs even those that I had seen earlier on this journey. And to experience walking on and under the glacier truly makes one appreciate the world around them. Unfortunately the best (only?) way to experience the glacier trek is through a tour with Hielo y Aventura (see accompan...

Our visit to El Calafate and the nearby Parque
Nacional Los Glaciares was one of the highlights of our trip to Argentina. It is difficult to find
words to describe the beauty of the place. Most people who visit here, limit
their visit to the best-known of the glaciers, Perito Moreno. But, while Perito
Moreno was certainly impressive and is worth your while, for me a visit to the
other glaciers on an all day boat trip was even more impressive. We sailed amid
icebergs of the bluest ...
