Looking out across the city of El Calafate, the Andean Mountains and the glistening surface of Lake Argentino, Esplendor El Calafate provides a comfortable base for forays into Argentine Patagonia.

The hotel is located right in the heart of El Calafate, the gateway into Argentine Patagonia and some of its most impressive natural wonders. Each day, following a free buffet breakfast, you can set out to explore the region and its treasures, including daily excursions to the enormous Perito Moreno Glacier (just 70km away). Other activities include trekking to El Chaltén, the hiking capital of Argentina, and quad biking through Calafate Mountain Park.

The guestrooms and suites are nice and spacious, with homey, Patagonian-inspired decor, local artwork and thoughtful modern amenities.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”

We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.
