El Calafate Hotels - Reviews and Rates

On Monday we took off for the glacier-the main reason we flew down south to El Calefate.
We were told it was defo worth the trip down as the glacier was supposedly meant to be unreal.
We stopped on route to take pics of Lago Argentina which is in El Calefate and a lake you can skate on. Once we reached the park we paid the usual park entra...

The busride from El Chalten to El Calafate took around 4 hours - one definite sign, that it was a bus full of people coming from trecking and mountainclimbing was this: In the Bus I met two girls (Linda and Christina) who were staying at the America del Sur Hostel and since it was already the top pick of my guide I gladly took the offer of going...

Six-hour bus ride back from Puerto Natales this morning, lovely views across Patagonia and the wilderness, one border crossing, and we are now back in Argentina! Just got one night in El Calafate, en route to El Chalten early tomorrow morning - apparently there is no real internet to speak of there, so there will be nothing from us for a few day...

Dzisiejsza noc nie nalezala do najprzyjemniejszych, gdzies kolo polnocy zaczelo mocno wiac. Wiatr wdzieral sie pod blache dachu naszego hostelu i wydawal przy tym strasznie dziwne dzwieki. Ciezko bylo nam zasnac, co kilka minut przebudzalismy sie. W koncu nadszedl ranek, poszlismy na sniadanie dosyc wczesnie, starajac sie uprzedzic pozostalych ...

ok, so i thought after seeing Antarctica, Patagonia is not gonna impress me but i was so wrong!!! it's really amazing, i'm not a nature kind of person but it was really nice to see this beautiful landscapes... i took a bus from Ushuaia to Rio Gallegos and then to El Calafate, from El Calafte you can take trip to the Glaciers National Park...

We thought that Turkey and China were cold countries until we came here. This place is freezing. Of course it is the furthest south we have traveled on the trip so far, one of the furthest south cities you can travel to, period. It is surrounded by hundreds of miles of tundra. Just seeing the name "Patagonia" makes you feel like you are at the ...

Took a day trip into Agentina to see the Perito Morena glacier which is awesome. The sheer size is almost overwhelming (or it was for the 30 or so people that have died from parts falling off it over a 20 year period). The front face of it is 50 - 55 m high and is 1.8km wide! In the centre it advances at approx. 2m per day with approx. that amou...

El Calafate, Notre prochaine destination, apres les neiges on retrouve les vents violents de l'extreme sud... (pfff vivement les Caraibes) mais aussi, on va voir le PERITO MORENO !!! Ce fameux glacier.... heuuuu comme je suis content ! C'est aussi la derniere etape en groupe avec Anna, puiqu'apres nous prennons des directions differentes... c'es...

Have spent a few days in El Calafate viewing icebergs and glaciers - was truly spectacular...

The Perito Moreno Glacier It's hard to explain why a glacier is such a powerful thing to see - or should I say witness, because it's about more than seeing it. You can feel and hear it too, especially when the ice comes crashing down into the lake and floats away. It sounds like gunfire, thunder or even an explosion, as lumps of ice crash their ...
