El Calafate
How many days should you stay?
There is no single correct number for every trip. El Calafate can work as a short stop or as a base for several different days.
Start with what matters
Think about whether the glacier is a priority, whether you would like to add a boat trip, whether El Chaltén interests you, and how much breathing room you need between arrivals, departures, and rest.
