Descripción del Tour:

Begin your journey from El Calafate by taking gravel road No. 15, famously known as the “Camino de las Estancias” . As you travel, you will likely encounter condors, foxes, and hares, with the majestic Cerro Frías as a backdrop. Upon crossing the Río Rico , the landscape transforms rapidly from steppe to mountainous terrain.
Arrive at the ranch after following the shores of Lake Roca and entering the Los Glaciares National Park . Your host guide will greet you at the Estancia and lead you to the Quincho, where you'll be treated to a warm beverage (tea, coffee, or mate) alongside homemade pastries. It's a perfect pause to appreciate the stunning view of the Cordillera de los Andes .
Next, embark on a tour through the facilities of a traditional Patagonian ranch that was once dedicated to sheep farming. Today, it stands as the most renowned Hereford breeding cabin in the region, still home to a flock of sheep.
At the stables, those who choose the horseback ride will mount up and set off to explore the surroundings with a local guide.
Meanwhile, the rest of the group will enjoy a hike offering spectacular views of the South Arm of Lake Argentino . You'll discover rocky outcrops shaped by glacial forces and fluctuations in lake levels. The trails lead through a forest of lengas and ñires, home to caranchos, cachañas, hares, woodpeckers, eagles, and a rich variety of native flora and fauna. The exact route may change based on weather. (Hike or horseback ride: 45 minutes to 1 hour. Level: easy)
Upon completion, the group gathers at the entrance of the shearing shed, now a historical museum of the ranch. This is a chance to explore a shed, learn about its components, and understand the operations that occur there. Visitors can also engage in morning milking and sheep herding, experiencing a typical day at the Estancia. Some activities may vary due to weather conditions.
As you return to the barbecue area, where a lamb is roasting on the spit , the focus will be on the history of the place, sharing anecdotes and stories of the early settlers. Walking through the vegetable garden, which supplies most of the ranch's produce, you'll arrive at the Quincho where the Asador will have the barbecue ready.
