El Calafate - Argentina

El Calafate is in Patagonia, southern Argentina. Being close to Antartica, it best to go between November and March when it is summer there as there is less snow. Most of the town opens around 10am because the sun rises later and they stay open until around midnight. The prices of food and drinks available is inexpensive and is a great reason to recommend. Because of the snow and natural beauty, there is an exciting ambiance to the resort as it is very unique. The town is served by an international airport and there are attractions like the Moreno glacier and the lake in the city. There is a high street with bars, restaurants and shops on it as well as a tourist information centre. Lots of the hotels and hostels are along this Main Street and it is very easy to navigate. The main restaurants specialise in local cuisine but there is also some international options too. 🗓️Itinerary Scheduling: day 1 - check into the hotel and explore the local town including the many bars and restaurants Day 2 - take a trip to Moreno Glacier which takes about 5 hours in total Day 3 - if you have enough time then visit Torres Del Paine national park. This is a 14 hour round trip but definitely worth it because of its beautiful scenery
