The Big Buddha
sits on a small island in front of Bangrak Beach to which
it is connected by a causeway. Because of the large statue, Bangrak
Beach is also called Big Buddha Beach, and although the name is
not official, it is commonly used in travel literature to refer
to this beach. A long stairway leads up to the statue.

The town of El Calafate itself has developed around a single tourist attraction: the Glaciar Perito Moreno, a spectacular ice field that has developed over millions of years between a gap in the Andes Mountains.
