El Calafate

 El Calafate is a city in Patagonia, Argentina. It is situated on the southern border of Lake Argentino, in the southwest part of the Santa Cruz Province, . The name of the city is derived from a little bush with yellow flowers and dark blue berries that is very common in Patagonia: the calafate (Berberis buxifolia); the word comes from the word calafate, which is Spanish for 'caulk'.

El Calafate is an important tourist destination as the hub to visit different parts of the Glaciers of South America.


This was the best travle experience one can have . The Glaciers, The snow, The long day lights(first experience of sunset around 10PM).
