Top neighborhoods in El Calafate

Perito Moreno Glacier, Patagonia, Argentina - Panoramic View

Macrozona Lago Argentino

Macrozona Lago Argentino serves up front-row glacier views that'll make your Instagram followers hate you a little bit. The turquoise waters of Lake Argentino stretch toward snow-capped peaks while lakeside trails lead to perfect spots for watching massive ice chunks crash into the water. Bird lovers can spot flamingos at Laguna Nimez, and adventure seekers can book ice-trekking tours right from the main strip. Patagonian steakhouses and lamb restaurants line the streets, with most places staying open late during summer months. Hotels and lodges feature huge windows framing those killer lake views. While public transit is limited, tour shuttles zip visitors between glaciers and town, making car rental optional for this slice of Patagonian paradise.

The bus terminal connects travelers to the breathtaking Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park.

"Excellent property, location is at the end of city center. Easy walk to restaurants and grocery stores. Restaurants are open late. We arrived late in town and found all the restaurants open for dinner. Two times we needed assistance in the room, a safe we could not unlock and extra bathroom supply, staff was immediately at the door. Breakfast was excellent, lots of options.my daughter is vegan and she had fruits,vegetables,quinoa dish and kombucha teas are so appreciated. Definitely recommend this hotel."
