Our next stop along Ruta 40 was the town of El Calafate, where most tourists stay before and after a visit to Perito Moreno Glacier. Calafate is the name of a berry producing bush that grows in the Patagonia region of Chile and Argentina and that tastes similar to the Saskatoon berries we have at home. It is said that if you eat a calafate berry that it ensures that you will return to Patagonia….so we bought a jar of calafate jam, as this is a region of the world that is definitely worthy of a return visit.
