El Calafate, Argentina lies less than an hour’s drive to the east of the Los Glaciares National Park, nestled in the heart of Patagonia. Much of the park is a huge ice cap, with many glaciers, such as Glacier Perito Moreno, easily accessible for viewing by boat, emptying into Lake Argentina. You can take in the peaks of the Andes Mountains and towering glaciers by hiking on and over them or by riding past on a boat tour. You can also go off-roading to the cliffs above and around El Calafate for a better look. Longer excursions into the Torres Del Paine National Park, just over the border from Chile, are also accessible from El Calafate. If you’re staying in the city for a rest day, be sure to check out the Glacier Museum to the west of town, or head to the Patagonia Historical Center, which gives a history of the region, dating back to the dinosaurs.
