Note about the prices: Please keep in mind that the prices I stated for some things, were the prices when I was there and that the prices are constantly changing in Argentina due to the inflation. That's why in my guide, I've provided prices in Euros for reference.

@sarahgeiger
El Calafate is located on the shore of Lake Argentino, the largest lake in the country. Due to its proximity to the Perito Moreno Glacier, the city is an absolute tourist magnet and countless restaurants, tour operators, and souvenir shops with handicraft products line the main street.
The town also serves as the perfect starting point to explore Los Glaciares National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Calafate
The city is named after the calafate berries that grow in the region. Among others, they are used in the production of jam and ice cream. You should definitely try it while you're there.

Hi everyone 👋🏻
I'm Sarah from Germany and my biggest passion is everything related to travel. I not only LOVE to organize my own travels but also help others make travelling and especially planning easier. Below you can find some facts about me to get to know me a little better 😊
🌏 I'm backpacking solo around the world since 2017, exploring new places and cultures. I love to travel off the beaten path as I think this is the best way to experience local life and discover places away from mass tourism.
🗻 I've lived in New Zealand for 2,5 years, exploring this beautiful country in my van and I've also lived in Australia and Uruguay for one year each.
🥥 I always try to spend as much time as possible in one country to be able to explore it thoroughly. The first thing I usually do is wandering the streets to get a feel for the place, visiting local markets and also trying all the food.
🏞️🏝️ I love the outdoors, hiking, chasing waterfalls, driving around with the scooter, scuba diving and snorkeling.
