Located at the bottom of the hill that bears its name and beside Lago Argentino, El Calafate is an attractive tourist villa that enables visitors to have access to the beautiful glaciers circuit. Its architecture displays low rustic houses. In high season (from October to April), the tourist activity is very intense, thus making it necessary to book accommodations in advance. The visitor can enjoy all kinds of services: many excursions, multilingual guides, ships that sail along Lago Argentino, and even the possibility of entering the Caves of the Gualicho, where interesting rupestrian paintings can still be appreciated.
