About El Calafate & Perito Moreno Glacier
El Calafate is a small city of approximately 25,000 residents situated on the southern shore of Lago Argentino in Argentina’s Santa Cruz Province. It serves as the primary access point for Los Glaciares National Park, home to Perito Moreno Glacier — one of the few glaciers in the world not currently retreating due to climate change. The glacier covers an area of roughly 250 square kilometers and stands up to 70 meters above the lake’s waterline, making it one of the most visually dramatic natural attractions in the Americas. The Patagonian tourist season runs from October through April, with peak visitation in January and February during the Southern Hemisphere summer.
