Today we are going to take you on a walk through El Calafate. In the previous videos we already shared some of the most popular excursions that one can do around here - we visited a ranch, we did a lake walk, and we met the glaciers! - But today, we are going to see what there is to visit in the town if one wants to have a slightly calmer day.
In this video we are going to visit:
Nimez Lagoon - 02:01
Laguna Nimez is located just north of town and on the shores of Lake Argentino. This lagoon is part of a natural reserve corresponding to the Patagonian steppe ecoregion, and it is an ideal place to go bird watching - even flamingos!
Historical Interpretation Center of Calafate - 08:17
In this museum one can see all kinds of dinosaurs that inhabited Patagonia thousands of years ago.
Lunch at Mi Rancho - 09:36
Here we tried a braised ossobuco with a yellow risotto and a lamb dish with mushroom risotto and a sweet calafate sauce. Both dishes were very tasty!
Pasta Tasting in the Kitchen - 12:56
What we liked about this restaurant is that they offer a pasta tasting where each person can order 3 small dishes. It's a nice way to try a little bit of everything.
Glaciarium - 16:02
Inside the Glaciarium, also known as the Patagonian Ice Museum, we learned about the Southern Patagonian Ice Field where the glaciers in this area originate, we watched a movie about the Perito Moreno Glacier, and we also visited a room that pays tribute to the Argentine explorer Francisco Pascasio Moreno.
Ice Bar - 16:56
The ice bar that is located in the basement of the Glaciarium museum. The bar is designed with walls of ice, the glasses where they serve the drinks are made of ice, and there are even ice sculptures, so it is a fun place to take a few photos.
