Argentina | El Calafate ① Travel Guide: Food, Stay & Transport
✈️ Transport A shuttle bus (8000 ARS one-way / 15000 ARS round-trip) runs from the airport to town. At official exchange rates, the round-trip fare was ~110 CNY—book it at the airport if you’re not renting a car! Taxis are pricey for solo trips. 🏨 Accommodation Glaciar del Libertador Hotel Under $100/night with breakfast. Rooms match photos. Prime location: Steps away from popular restaurants and the main street. Pro tip: 2nd-floor rooms lack views, but the common area offers a panorama of El Calafate’s landmark. Breakfast: Simple eggs, bread, and milk. 🍽️ Dining La Tablita (2 visits review): 1st visit (Dinner): Lemon tea (refreshing, $5/jug). Beef tongue (tangy) + ribeye (medium-rare): Crispy outside, tender inside—heavenly! Lamb roast: Lacked cumin (soul-crushing 😩). 2nd visit (Lunch): Ribeye & beef tongue were mediocre. Grilled lamb intestines: Super crispy but oily—bring your own cumin! 🧂🔥 🚶 Explore The town is tiny—walk or rent a bike if car rentals are unavailable. #ElCalafate #ArgentinaTravel #MorenoGlacier #LakeArgentino #Ushuaia #TravelDiaries
