Top 10 Free Things to do in El Calafate, Patagonia
Building on its must-visit location, the once-tiny El Calafate has grown quickly to cater to and profit from the visitors to nearby Los Glaciares National Park. Many visit to see such natural wonders as Perito Moreno Glacier, a massive glacier that’s actually composed of many other pieces of shifting ice. Yet travelers will find that El Calafate is much more than merely a gateway to the Patagonian wild—it’s a fun town offering all sorts of outdoor adventures.

Beautiful small city in the middle of the Argentine Patagonia, full of good restaurants, wide avenues, outdoor activities, parks, gentle people, views to the Andes mountain range, lakes and wide open range. We used this city as the entrance point to visit and navigate the Glacier Park lakes and see Perito Moreno Glacier from lake view. In short, one of the best travel experiences I have had in my life, is likely I will re-visit sometime soon.

My wife and I attended Christmas mass at this little church, and In spite of the language barrier, the simple beauty of the church and the songs made it feel like Christmas. Behind the altar is a glass wall which provides a view of the green, sunny prayer garden.
