It's perfect because it's only 1 block away from the apartment, and not to mention DELICIOUS! Mako has quickly become one of our favorite go-to restaurants for a perfect steak (bife de chorizo or bife argentino) and some tasty "Cordero al asador" (lamb).

Entertainment & Activities

If you want to do the "Minitrek" or "Big Ice" trek go directly with the guys at Hielo y Aventura. They are the only permitted operators of all ice trek excursions, so cut out any middle men and hire directly with them.

Parks & Nature

One of our favorite spots in Calafate. Laguna Nímez is a natural reserve were birds come to nest and breed during the warm months. Take your camera and enjoy this peaceful place. 20 minutes away (walking) from the city center and a 1.5 hour self guided tour inside the reserve.
