What to expect

You will depart from El Calafate along the unmade road of the Provincial Route 15, also known as "the road to the estancias". During the trip, you can appreciate condors, foxes and hares, with Cerro Frías taking centre stage. After crossing over the Río Rico, the landscape changes suddenly from the steppe-land to mountain scenery. The estancia is reached after traveling along the edge of Lago Roca and having entered Los Glaciares National Park.

The host guide welcomes you to the estancia and takes you to the Quincho (rustic dining room) where you have a hot drink (tea, coffee or mate) accompanied by home-made cakes and pastries. Then, the walk starts around the main building, the perfect example of a typical Patagonian estancia. After the walk, the group meets up again at the door of the shearing shed. There you have the opportunity to see inside such a shed with all its skilled hands and understand the work of the shearing teams. Returning to the Quincho you will find the person doing the roasting with the meat ready to delight the diners with tasty Patagonian lamb while enjoying the impressive view of the Andes mountain range.
