Today we are going to take you on a walk through El Calafate Santa Cruz Patagonia Argentina. In the
previous videos , we already shared some of the most
popular excursions that one can do around here. We visited a
ranch, we did a lake walk, and we met the
glaciers, but today we are going to see what there is to visit in the
town, if one wants to have a day a little more calm. In
this video, we are going to visit the Nimes Lagoon, the
historical interpretation center of Calafate, the glaciarium,
ice bar and you already know that food cannot be missing. So,
we invite you to come for a walk with us. Hello friends,
welcome. We are Samuel and Aldri, from El Calafate, Santa
Cruz, Argentina. Here we continue in El Calafate. Yes. And well,
we have been walking a lot, doing several excursions,
so today we woke up a little tired. Yes. We do
n't want to go too far, so we're going to have a
calmer day . Yes. We have decided to visit Laguna Nimes, it is an
ecological reserve. You can flamingos, and all kinds
of birds, and then we are thinking about food. Yes, we are going to
eat in it. In the village, yes. Uh, look at that bird. Oops. We
missed it. Ah, yes, there are a lot of restaurants that
we want to try in El Calafate, we have them saved in
Google Maps. Yes. So we are going to choose a restaurant and
take them to eat to see what dishes they have here. And yes, that's
the plan for today. Yes Yes. A calmer day, but come on,
I started our adventure. Ready? Go.

journey.
Check this out, we've reached Shrek's swamp. Where is
the shrek? You see it? Is here. Uh, this good is the Shrek.
Yeah
It's
the flamingos up close, they are so cute, so pink. We also
went up to the viewpoint of the Argentine lake, but hey, as today
is a half gray day, the truth is that the lake today does not have that
intensity, that color, as in other days, when the sun
is hitting it, so it is very beautiful to see it, but if they
come on a sunny day, it is something else, it is like
fluorescent turquoise , it looks like a lake from another world, from another planet. The
Flamenco. Samuel is filming Los Flamencos, how are you?
A lots of. I like them very much. Many flamingos, very cute. Very
cute, I'm hungry. You too. I think it's time
for lunch. what time is it? what time is it? Eleven. No. No, one. OK, it
's the. One, one in the afternoon. One p.m. OKAY. Yes. Yes.
Let's see. So, another place to visit if you are going to
be near the lagoon, is the historical
interpretation center of Calafate. Oh long name. OK, it's a museum and
here by chance because we passed it in front of it and we thought
uh, that looks interesting. And yes, it is a museum where one can
learn about the dinosaurs, the mammals, and the people of
Patagonia. So, we started with the dinosaurs, they had a
nest with dinosaur eggs, and then we continued to the living room,
where they have the mammals, and that was my favorite part,
because we got to see the Megaterium, a giant mammal
that is like a sloth. giant five or six meters
high that lived here in Patagonia until eight thousand
five hundred years ago when there were already people in this part of the
world so it coexisted, cohabited with people, and well they
were extinct because well they were hunted and eaten
because they were slow, they weren't very aggressive, and at the entrance to the
museum it's four hundred pesos, so more or less about six
dollars, right? Yes Yes. Already.
Well, we are having lunch at Mi Rancho, here in El Calafate,
the wine has arrived, Malbec. Yes? Wineries. Stones I came from the
house, see you later.
I ordered the braised ossobuco in the clay oven with a yellow
risotto that was really a delight. Samuel ordered the
lamb with a mushroom risotto and a calafate sauce
which was also very good.
Tasty, and sweet. You have another mushroom.
Perfect. Perfect perfect. OK well. And for dessert,
we tried the dulce de leche volcano with chocolate ice cream and
red berries. We ate very well in El Calafate and this was one
of our favorite places. Tonturon. We are back in
the cabin we forgot to finish the video. Sure.
Again because we go back and
sleep. But. Of all that food and all that wine there is no
other option but to take a little nap. Yes. It is
necessary. Yes. It is mandatory. Yes mandatory. Ah but we did
eat very good. Yes. On my ranch. Yes. So we
wanted to recommend the place, it has been the rich food, right?
Likely. The best in El Calafate. The best food we
have eaten in El Calafate. Yes. The price was a little
less than forty dollars. Uh-huh. But. But very good
quality. Eaten rich. We ate very rich, yes it is worth it and yes that

What we liked about this place is that they offer a pasta
tasting where each person can order three small
dishes. I ordered the tagliatelle with forest sauce, gnocchi with
lamb ragout, and spinach ravioli with a sauce of
chicken, ham, and cream. Ticket. Samuel ordered the green noodles
with cream sauce and bacon, potato and spinach
ravioli with Bolognese meat sauce, and squash ravioli
with a leek sauce. All very very tasty.
Well, that was lunch, everything was very tasty, and I really liked the
idea of ​​being able to share different plates of pasta, to
see which one is the richest of all, the total was nineteen
hundred pesos, which at this moment is thirty dollars, And
yes, the place is very nice, good service, delicious food, there
was also a third pasta tasting, so if three people go
, they can try nine dishes, and share, let's see,
which ones, so yes, the place is called The kitchen, very nice,
is located in the center of Calafate, and now we are taking
a little tour of the village of Los Nomos, where they have some
nice little shops, all of them built, made of wood, you
feel like you are in a small forest enchanted, something
like that, and this is where you can buy all kinds of
souvenirs, they have fabrics, mate, jams, chocolates,
whatever you can imagine. And yes, it is a nice place, very
quiet, they have a little one back here so we are
taking a walk, I am looking for an alpaca sweater ,
or wool sweater, something similar to this, but I
bought this one I think in Jujuy or in Salta. So yeah, because it's
getting chilly the closer we get to Ushuaia. And yes,
we are going to take a walk around here, to see what we find, and
we will show you.
Bye.
This afternoon we went to visit Glasiarium, also known
as the Patagonian Duel Museum. We went by
taxi, but it turns out that the museum offers free transfer from the
beach of the secretary of tourism, and the same for the
return. They just have to check the schedule on the
museum's website.
Inside the museum we saw a model that presents the
southern Patagonian ice field where the glaciers
in this area originate . We learned a little more about the
ice formation and we also visited a room that pays tribute to
Francisco Pascasio Moreno, the Argentine explorer, better
known as Perito Moreno.
Yes.
In
No.
Well, we just finished visiting Glaciarium, the museum
on Glaciers, and also Lello's bar. So, there are two
different tickets for the entrance, it was six hundred pesos
per person to visit the museum, so, ten dollars. And
then four hundred pesos per person to go to the bar, and that
's a twenty-five minute experience. All very
fun, I really liked the museum, and one needs
about an hour to go through everything. We watched a movie
called La Voz del Glaciar and it was all about Perito
Moreno, so that's very interesting and yes, then we go down
to the bar, they give you like some ponchos, some gloves so you
don't freeze, the temperature is ten , below zero, and
the entrance also includes a drink. Yes. So very fun, they
had music and everything, so, we enjoyed it, and we
recommend it, but they are more fun and you can come with
a group of friends, because it was just the two of us,
dancing in a bar. OKAY. And the museum also offers
free transportation, that is, we had forgotten, so we
came by taxi, but now we are going to return in the bus that
they have, and it leaves once an hour, at thirty
minutes, so, five and half, half past six, half past seven
. Well, friends, that's it, tomorrow we go to the hotel.
Thanks for looking, bye.
