Ranch and Glamp

Day 1 El Calafate / Estancia Nibepo Aike D

Arrival and reception at El Calafate Airport. Transfer to Estancia Nibepo Aike where, after checking in, you will have some spare time to start enjoying the experience of real country life.

Day 2 Estancia Nibepo Aike B L D

Today we will taste the true Patagonian lamb, and in the afternoon, we will sail across Lake Argentino. We will disembark at De las Monedas beach, for a short hike through a lenga-tree forest to a lookout from which we will gain our first view of the imposing Perito Moreno glacier. Then, crossing back the lake towards Bajo de las Sombras pier, we will move on overland to the catwalks of Los Glaciares national park. A walk along them will allow you a different approach to the glacier from a new perspective.

Day 3 Estancia Nibepo Aike B L D

Day at leisure to enjoy the activities offered by the estancia: sharing the rural and orchards labors, watching sheep sharing and rein skills on horseback exhibitions, or discover the local vegetation and fauna on horseback or hiking. If you would rather a more active proposal, we suggest some trekking towards the Grande, Cubo and Dickson glaciers.

Day 4 Estancia Nibepo Aike / Chaltén Camp B L D

We leave behind the estancia along the so-called Route of the Patagonian Estancias and on along the mythical Route 40 towards El Chaltén. A few kilometers onwards, we reach our final destination: a glamping site deep in the forest, with views of Mt. Fitz Roy. Upon arrival, time at leisure to start relaxing and breath the pristine air.

Day 5 Chaltén Camp B L D

Being in the Argentine capital of trekking, we cannot do better than an amazing day trek. After passing by various lookouts and hiking along luscious lenga-tree woods, we will reach our destination: the outstanding Laguna de los Tres with the image of Mt. Fitz Roy reflecting in its pure waters.
