YPF Estación El Calafate Centro
The main YPF station serving El Calafate sits right on Libertador Avenue, the town’s main drag. Full diesel, premium, and regular gasoline available 24/7 during peak season. Clean bathrooms, basic snacks, and a small convenience store make this a logical last resupply before heading to Glaciar Perito Moreno or continuing the Ruta 40 run toward Chile.
Expect queues during January-February when the town is packed with tourists. Credit cards accepted but carry cash as backup — ATMs are nearby but can run dry during peak season.
Main fuel stop for glacier country access
