National Park Center, open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Very nicely designed small park/garden next door, which can still be visited even after the center is closed.

View of Lake Argentino

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful trail that leads through the seclusion of the hinterland, with a magnificent view of the almost endless lake. The trail leads along the Huyliche farm back to the village of El Calafate.
