El Calafate is located directly on Lake Argentino. From afar you can see the beautiful, large lake that shines turquoise.

Hiking
Lake Argentino is fascinating not only because of its bright turquoise blue color, but also because of its size. It is the largest lake in Argentina and is fed by several glaciers, including the largest glacier in South America, the Upsala Glacier and the most famous, the Perito Moreno Glacier. The lake drains into the Atlantic via the Río Santa Cruz.
