A house to rest in a place to discover

                   El Calafate can be much more than just a city

to pass through on your way to the famous Perito Moreno Glacier

                 It is history, the history of a staging post where

peasants stopped their wagons on their long journey to the sea

in order to sell their bundles of wool after the shearing process.

             It is an oasis in the middle of the wild and deserted Patagonian landscapes

with bushes and shrubs of a monochromatic beauty

and sunsets of enigmatic red clouds.

            It is a place that invites you to listen to the silence of an almost uninhabited land

and the persistent whistling of the wind, typical of the summer mornings

             It is the possibility to discover wonderful glaciers, blankets of snow

descending from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field,

one of the fresh water reserves of the planet  

                                                             It is the legend of the tiny purple fruit

                                                               that gave its name to our city,

                                                                 the fruit of a plant native to this place:
