El Calafate, land of glaciers and pioneers

Throughout the journey, you will discover hidden stories, meet its first inhabitants and understand how this small and isolated Patagonian settlement, marked by wind, cold and immensity, grew to become one of the most fascinating destinations in southern Argentina.

This tour invites you to look beyond the current tourist scene: we'll talk about the pioneers who took a chance on this land when there were no roads or modern amenities, about the indigenous cultures that inhabited the region long before its founding, and about the transformations brought about by tourism and its connection to the world. You'll also learn about the famous legend of the calafate berry, a story that is part of the local soul and remains alive among those who visit Patagonia.

As we walk, you will discover how nature was key to the identity of the place, from the immense Lake Argentino to the proximity to the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier, a natural phenomenon that ultimately put El Calafate on the world map.

More than a stroll, this tour is an invitation to understand, feel and connect with the deep history of El Calafate: its roots, its challenges and its transformation.
