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.

El Calafate Centro

El Calafate Centro buzzes as the gateway to Patagonia's famous glaciers. The main street, Avenida del Libertador, showcases colorful shops selling wool sweaters, outdoor gear, and carved gaucho figures. Visitors can explore unique attractions like the Gnome Village, Argentinian Museum of Toys, and the Casino while planning their glacier adventures. The bus terminal connects travelers to the breathtaking Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park. Restaurants throughout the area serve regional specialties like Patagonian lamb and calafate berry desserts. The neighborhood is highly walkable with hotels and hostels catering to every budget. Most visitors use the terminal's frequent bus service to reach the glaciers, though taxis are readily available for trips around town.

Los Canelos

Los Canelos

10/10 Excellent
"We love Los Canelos. Definitely a home away from home. We were greeted very warmly by front desk. All the staff are so nice. The lobby and the whole property is very clean, absolutely spotless. It’s always warm when you walk in, which when you’ve been walking in the rain. The view is so beautiful, on a clear day you can see the lake from our window. Also it’s just a very short walk to town. The bridge and road is being renovated so just a little rough of a walk but we didn’t mind."
