Koppla av i din luftkonditionerade buss eller minibuss och njut av utsikten över de orörda landskapen på väg till Walichu Caves. Efter ungefär 30 minuter anländer du till de gamla grottorna vid sjön Argentinosjön. Förundras över den spektakulära mjölkblå sjön och följ leden (egen kostnad) för att titta på de aeons gamla klippmålningarna. Beundra de återskapade och autentiska skildringarna av människor och djur och lär dig av en lokal guide hur de går tillbaka till cirka 4000 år till paleolitisk tid och ursprungligen skapades av jägare-samlare före Tehuelche.
Kör sedan tillbaka till El Calafate för en sightseeingtur. Kör förbi de tidiga 1900-talets byggnader och bostäder som byggts av dess första bosättare, liksom huvudtorget, kyrkan och andra landmärken, eftersom din guide beskriver stadens tidiga början. Vi kommer att se Coastal Walk, som ligger nära Lago Argentino-kusten.
Avsluta vid El Calafate Historical Intepretation Center. Utforska detta informativa museum oberoende (egen kostnad) och avslöja områdets historia, djurliv och geologi. Se benen på dinosaurier som strömmade hit för årtusenden sedan, och spåra bildandet av Patagonias glaciärer och berättelsen om Tehuelche-folken som bodde här i århundraden före kolonisatornas ankomst.

That's a nice little tour of El Calafate, see a few things that you normally wouldn't see, probably even do. The guide, so bad I totally having a slip of the mind, was the greatest. Probably the best guide I had in awhile. Very knowledgeable, very inclusive, and the first time switching back and fourth from English to spanish I could follow.
The initial program included a visit to Lagună Nimez , but it was not included in the schedule of our trip. When asked about it, our guide said it is never included in this trip, so why promise and pay for something which does not exist?! I also asked the firm about it but they never bothered to send an answer
The Walichu Caves were very interesting. Our guide Santino, was very friendly and informative and fluent in both English and Spanish The museum was also very informative and well presented. The hydroponic farm was interesting and the food at the end was a very pleasant and unexpected surprise. The tour guide informed us a bit about El Calafate but could have provided a more information about El Calafate as we drove through. The main problem was that we were told the evening before in a message via Viator that our pick-up time was 3pm not 5pm as we had booked, without out any explanation or apology, which disrupted our other plans significantly!
A very well organized tour. The guide was fluent in English and knowledgable. The 3 hours gave a very good genberal view of the history of the region. The Museum is excellent, and the food/drinks offered at the end also very good.
WALICHU IS THE BEST OF ALL CALAFATE. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We attended the visit with the whole family and my 9-year-old son Aristides was amazed by what he saw and experienced there, as were all of us! We were received very kindly by an employee (lawyer) who had left the profession to dedicate himself to this. The experience was sublime, the visit is a journey of immersion in the AONIKENK (CHALTEN) culture, it is a performance that takes you to another world. The equipment that they gave us for the visit gave us the native music, the history, the story, the detail, the local color and the love for the Tehuelche culture. The view of the wonderful Argentine Lake made us take THE HEART OF EL CALAFATE IN OUR EYES. No one can leave the city without visiting the Walichu caves. Being there we forget about the problems, it seems like a magical, dreamlike place. The warmth of the people who attended us made us feel that; Without a doubt, we will return one day. I give a standing ovation to those who work there with so much love and professionalism to show those who visit how valuable our roots are and how wonderful it is to know the culture of our native peoples. They are an example to imitate. Thanks a lot. This is not just a walk... it is immersing your soul in the Argentineness that passes through us!!!! Thank you very much. Aristides' mother.
Very friendly. Lots of information over varied sites. Disappointed that the time advertised was incorrect, it meant we wasted a day.
very good experience, good service, professional and attentive staff. recommended for everyone
Beautiful views and very good guidance in caves/cave paintings. There is a stop for bathrooms and snacks. I did late in the afternoon and the tour ended with a dinner in the cave, which I found very busy this part. Overall, it was good, but I would not do it again.
interesting place, where you can appreciate cave paintings of native peoples, is easy to walk, very nice landscape and the guide that accompanied us gave us very good review of everything.
The city of El Calafate has some good things and not as good for the tourist as being: Not so good: lots of dogs from the street. They're not aggressive towards people but they are aggressive towards each other. Night barks that disturb depending on each person and the room that touches you in the hotel. The city is growing and at the moment is not as pleasant as a tourist center. From the good: a center with many dining options buy souvenirs and craft fairs. tourism agencies with very interesting excursions .
