Municipio de El Calafate

Municipio de El Calafate brings arid Patagonian steppe together with ice-fed waters, a contrast shaped by its setting between Lago Argentino and the Andes. The town of El Calafate stands on the lake’s southern shore, serving as a base for the glacier country of southwest Santa Cruz Province. To the west lies Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site that includes the Perito Moreno Glacier. Founded in 1927, El Calafate takes its name from a thorny Patagonian shrub with dark berries.
