Ice-skating in Bahía Redonda
In the city of El Calafate, skate on the largest natural ice rink in South America.
In winter, when these lands freeze over, Bahía Redonda becomes a place right out of a dream to go ice-skating. Come to Argentine Patagonia and discover this natural wonder. Can you imagine a rink 4 kilometers long and 3 kilometers wide? Put your skates on and slide around this immensity. In a joyful environment, watch the landscape around you, and the blue sky reflected under your feet.
Have you been to the Ice Festival? Come to this rink and celebrate it. Watch a sled show, take ice-skating classes, enjoy ice-hockey matches, ice sculpture contests, and torch parades. Dance to the rhythm of music live shows. And, to regain energy, taste a cup of hot chocolate and a delicious calafate jam alfajor. Live it all in the province of Santa Cruz.
