From the Argentine Patagonia World / Areas
Lake Argentino
El Calafate's lake offers two different experiences: a shore walk by Laguna Nimez or boat travel from Puerto Punta Bandera into its northern glacier arm.
Argentine Patagonia / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Argentine Patagonia with our travel partners.
At Laguna Nimez, the open lake edge meets wetlands where birdlife is the nearer focus. A Puerto Punta Bandera departure shows the lake's larger scale and its branching route toward glaciers. Choose the shore for a local walk; choose navigation when the water journey itself is the point of the day.
What to look for
Laguna Nimez puts wetland bird habitat beside the lake shore.
Boats from Puerto Punta Bandera enter the lake's northern arm.
Useful to know
Use the Laguna Nimez edge for a lake view close to El Calafate.
Treat a northern-arm boat trip as a separate planned excursion from Puerto Punta Bandera.
