Questions
What is the best area to stay in El Calafate?
To get around on foot, downtown: there are 6 lodgings 6 minutes or less from Avenida del Libertador. If you want quiet near the lake, Barrio Nimez. If you arrive or leave by bus, near the bus station.
How far is the Perito Moreno Glacier from El Calafate?
About 80 kilometers, around an hour and a quarter by car or on a tour. There are no lodgings within walking distance of the glacier: you go as a day trip from town.
How many lodgings are there in El Calafate?
Our map has 43, including hotels, hostels, inns, cabins, apartments and campsites, taken from OpenStreetMap.
Is it worth booking direct with the lodging?
When you book on the lodging's own website, the place pays no commission to a platform, and you deal directly with the people who host you about changes or glacier transfer times.
