Complete with many fine hotels and museums about the Patagonia region, the town serves as an excellent base camp for those exploring the iconic location.
Outdoor adventures abound in this remote, Patagonian town. Excursions and hikes to the nearby glaciers draw many visitors, as do boat tours on the lake and climbing tours in the surrounding mountains. El Calafate also houses several impressive museums about the region, including the renowned Glaciarium. A great way to explore the area is with the help of local guides and tours, in particular those provided by Calafate Excursiones, which offers trekking, boat, and whitewater rafting tours throughout the national parks in the area!

Everything about my trip to Helsingfors was amazing, from the staff, service, horseback riding, beautiful surroundings, treking, and of course the food. I'm still dreaming about the roasted lamb done over the open fire for the opening lunch. The staff was professional and accommodating and very personable. It is well worth the long trek to get there. It is a trip I will never forget.
