From Calafate to the Perito Moreno Glacier, a dream tour. (II) Calafate, the reason for the name. Curious to know the origin of the name, I finally managed to discover it. It is due to a thorny bush endemic to this Patagonian region that receives this name and was used to caulk the old ships that arrived. That is to say, hemp was used to caulk but as in Patagonia there was no use of this bush called calafate. At the junction of the woods that formed the case of the ship, a tow was inserted, in this case a caulk embedded in pitch to prevent the entry of water. This usefulness of the people led her to be considered a true symbol in southern Patagonia. Heading to the Perito Moreno Glacier.
