5 Best Outdoor Activities and Adventure tours in El Calafate

El Calafate is a city sharing borders with Lake Argentino and situated near Patagonian
Ice Field in Patagonia, Argentina. Named after a popular Patagonian flower 'Calafate' meaning
'caulk', the city has been an attractive region in Argentina. Tourists from around the city always
visit the city as it records visitors from Perito Moreno Glacier, Cerro Torre and even from Cerro
Chaltén (the mountain in Patagonia between Argentina and Chile). The city is a gateway to the
Los Glaciares National Park which has been rated the largest national park in Argentina.
Censuses conducted in El Calafate are always increased by the number of tourists around and
this is a major positive factor of rapid development in the city. Don’t just sit at home, get out
and explore these outdoor activities and adventures in El Calafate.

1. Glaciarium
El Calafate is specially blessed among other nations as it houses the modern interpretation
centre. The building was constructed by a body which aimed at teaching students and tourists
the fundamentals and sciences of ice and glaciers. This innovation directed by Pedro Skvarca
owned the building that was completed in 2011. In Glaciarium, there are countless scientific
facilities of ice and glacier equipping it to suit glaciology. The building of three halls houses
these facilities in two halls and has the last hall prepped for movie theatres.

2. Period Moreno Glacier

Another outdoor activity to engage in while in El Calafate is touring to the Perito Moreno
Glacier. At the scene, you get to see the glacier closer than from anywhere else, especially while
sailing on Lake Argentino. You may also take a tour on foot across this glacier for better
assessment. Taking a foot walk makes you feel and see certain interesting movements of the
glacier.

3. Explore the region

A deliberate tour around El Calafate is more fun when in groups. Walking alone through the
city's glacier region leaves you with the breeze from the atmosphere. When in a group, you'll
learn better, travelling in caves and through the lakes (in a boat). You will also learn from the
historic environment and innovations. It would be better touring with someone (or people) with
a better idea of the region.

4. Kayak
Apart from the boat ride, there's a more interesting way to travel through Argentino lake, it's
kayaking. When you kayak on the lake, you have a double interesting experience that you
always dream of. The first excitement it brings is that of sailing on water with so much comfort.
The second phase of excitement is that of having a close view of the glaciers around. As a
kayaker, you may explore the cave surrounding the lake and learn more from the few remains
lying in the caverns.

5. Tour for animals

In the city and in Los Glaciares National Park, few animals are known to have their dwellings
there. A careful research on these animals and how they survive will interest you as you go on.
Checking for birds and other little animals is really fun to embark on.
