El Calafate is a town located in the Santa Cruz Province of Argentina, situated on the southern shore of Lago Argentino. The town serves as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and is named after a local berry that, according to legend, ensures visitors will return to Patagonia once they taste it.
Originally established as a wool trading post in the early 20th century, El Calafate has developed into an important tourist destination, primarily due to its proximity to the Perito Moreno Glacier. The town maintains its Patagonian character through its architecture and cultural institutions, which showcase the region's rich history of indigenous peoples, early explorers, and rural traditions.
The local museums and cultural centers play an important role in preserving and sharing the area's natural and cultural heritage, particularly focusing on glaciology, regional history, and local flora and fauna.
