6 days in El Calafate Itinerary

El Calafate tourism thrives mostly thanks to the city's proximity to a World Heritage-listed national park, famed for containing over 40 large glaciers.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like La Leona Petrified Forest and Estancia Nibepo Aike. Spend the 28th (Mon) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. There's much more to do: head outdoors with Enjoy!, join in the after-dark buzz at Patagonia Profunda, hunt for treasures at Paseo de Los Artesanos, and examine the collection at Glaciarium Museo del Hielo Patagónico.
