Centro de Interpretación Histórica Calafate

Seems as though as usual they will charge what ever price they feel at the time. I called and was advised 14,000 peso when I got there it was 15,000 peso? Like what the hell. In all honesty it’s not the price it’s the fact that I’m finding a common occurrence with how they think visitors are stupid. Well I do not recommend this place at all. Don’t waste your time. It’s a shed and common knowledge of you have an education. Nothing is authentic it’s all fake garbage. ——————————————————————— Thank you for your prompt reply. It seems you missed the point. The point is i came with exactly 14,000 peso because that is what you told me. It’s the inconvenience of having to return to my hotel over $.80 as you put it. So please be more respectful to your customers.

We enjoyed our visit to this museum a lot. It consists of 5 rooms, covering the history of Patagonia from the age of dinosaurs to today, with a special focus on the native inhabitants and the war European waged on them. It portays everything in a very understandable and straightforward manner and I had several Aha-moments. Audi guides in I think 9 languages are available, but even with basic Spanish the texts on the walls are helpful and interesting. Generally, they put a lot of thought into how to present information in a digestible way. In summary, I'd really recommend coming here. You will learn a lot - and see some awesome dinosaur skeletons on top! What more can one want? 😀

Nice and cozy little museum with a small cafeteria. Covers the history beginning with dinosaurs up to present day. Explaining the "not so nice" history of the 19-20th century. Spent there like 2,5 hours and could do a one hour more Worth a visit, yet a little expensive for what they offer. 14 000 AP for non Argentinians.

Very well structured museum, covering from dinosaurs until today! Must see to understand the history of the area (and before)

Was not open at the advertised time, but did open about 30 minutes late. The chap who opened up was not really up to the task (he said he was sick, but was more likely stoned ... dark sunglasses he wouldn't remove, slurred speech, stumbling about, and asking for payment twice). The museum was great, very informative and well set out.

We had never expected local history going back to the dinosaurs... This is a pleasant museum with a lot of info on animals and later the people indigenous and pioneers. It is well done and we spent a good hour there. It is a bit chilly so keep that in mind. If you need english, they have a folder with all the texts in english, ask for it. The locals usually don't speak english; google translate goes a long way. Totally recommend it!

The museum has incredible potencial. Unfortunately it is not yet fulfilled. Non of the description is written in English. Yes you get free audio guide, but it is read in robot voice (probably not even real person, just AI), and it just gives brief background, not about exhibits. Big plus for showing not eurocentric history, but tries to give voice to other communities.

Definitely I recommend to visit it in your visit to Calafate. It's a small museum but lot of information. It's like walking through time, start with dinosaurs and the fisrt culture in La Patagonia. It has also a special section for The Tehuelches, it was really emotional. Great experience!!
