El Calafate
The Perito Moreno Glacier, the eighth wonder of the world, is near the town of El Calafate.
This town is, in addition, access to the many ice mountains that make the Glaciers National Park, a very special site of Argentina and the world. So much so that in 1981 UNESCO declared this park a World Heritage Site.
The villa takes its name from the small shrub "calafate", typical of the south of Patagonia. According to the tradition he who eats calafate will return for more. The reality is that he who visits El Calafate does not want to leave.
Located to 320 km from Rio Gallegos and on the South margin of Lake Argentino in the Andes, El Calafate is a colorful villa, surrounded by peaceful vegetation.
It is a very important tourist center since from there start all the tours that visit the different glaciers.
El Calafate is a small city of 4.000 inhabitants; the streets have a particular enchantment characterized by a construction of low, warm and rustic houses and a blue landscape that blends with the sky.
