av del libertador

The main street of the village is full of coffees, restaurants and shops. Most of them extremely overpriced, but still it is a nice area to wonder around and get a local craft beer.

Unlike other cities in Argentina, and in spite of a total lack of traffic lights, drivers do not blow hors, respect pedestrians, who walk along enjoying the boulevard, sidewalk cafés, shops, or admiring the beautiful roses along the way.

You can't really avoid this street if you're a tourist in El Calafate. Pockets of this road were well visited with bright shops and restaurants, but in between were poorly paved sidewalks, dusty construction from buildings and the road, and the strong winds will get some of that stuff in your eyes. Members of our party tripped several times on the sidewalk. On the plus side you can't really get lost if you stay on this road.

It is all here in the Avenue. restaurants, bars, shopping, travel agencies. Just walk around and choose.

Shops, banks, bars and restaurants are over there. If you want, you can hire all clothes you need for your journey there.

This avenue has the feeling of being newly-born. Everything is relatively new and clean.It is full of travel agencies and shops of different kinds: supermarkets, gifts, clothes and climbing equipment, regional products; you can get almost everything! Apart from lovely restaurants and bars of course!Nice for people watching and for feeling the pace of El Calafate.

this is the main street where most of your shops, restaurants, excursions companies and banks are located. it is quaint and charming and safe to walk anytime.

Beautiful, wide. Nice row of trees. Lots of shopping places and lots of restaurants. We did not drive but walked on this avenue. Was also safe.

Just 4 blocks to walk around after an excursion to one of the glaciers and before going to dinner.Souvenir shops, toys, woolen clothing, art and crafts, coffee shops, restaurants, groceries, etc.

Nice to stroll along the street with many shops, restaurants and banks. There are ATM in each bank along the street, but is not allowed to use a mastercard in any of them. We had a pizza and the quality was medium, we had bettewr one. One of my friend bought few souvenirs. The bus station is just at the end of the street. You can find nice ice-cream. You can try also "L'agnello al palo" in one or two restaurants as you can see from their windows.

Some areas along this street, (the main one in El Calafate), reminded us of the mountain town of Banff, Alberta. You can get pretty much anything you need here including many brand name hiking and outdoor clothing outfits, but not cheap! Rather touristy but had a good selection of stores and restaurants, various tour booking agencies and even a big casino advertising nightly shows. La Anonima had shops with grass roofs, was cute and quaint with reasonable prices for souvenirs.

Despite being only a few blocks long (10 I'd say), we found everything on Libertador Avenue, from supermarkets and clothing shops to arts and crafts markets. Mind the dogs, there many wondering around, though I think they're friendly and very used to being around people.

this is the main drag of the town. we booked our tours from the agencies here for todo glaciares and chalten bus tickets. we shopped at La Anonima and got our staples at reasonable prices. the taxi stand is just opposite La Anonima. the shop facades are quite picturesque in cypress wood and the souvenirs are reasonably priced. there are costly art/craft pieces from semi precious gems as well and we did a happy bit of window shopping here. dogs follow people persistently... one crossed the road on spotting us and almost clambered into our cab...

Bunch of restaurants and shops along the main street of El Calafate. Nice to walk along in the evening.

El Calafate is quite different from many small Patagonia towns, as it is longitudinal along the Av. del Libertador, you get much more of a main street feel to it. And the added benefit of easier navigation and knowing where things are! Hope this review was helpful!
