Itinerary and highlights

We’ll begin our Nibepo Aike Ranch with Horse Riding tour by picking you up directly from your hotel at 8:30am. We’ll head along Ruta 15, also known as Camino de las Estancias (The Ranch Route), along which you should see some condors, foxes and hares as well as Frías hill in the background.

After passing Roca lake and entering Los Glaciares national park, we’ll arrive at the ranch. Our hosts will welcome us with a hot drink (tea, coffee or mate) and a homemade pastry, and you’ll then have some time to enjoy the gorgeous view of the Andes mountain range. We’ll then have a look around to see the different parts of a typical Patagonian ranch.

Heading over to the gazebo on the ranch, our asado lunch, Patagonian lamb, will be served with the backdrop of the Andes mountains.

After lunch, we’ll set out on our guided horse riding tour. This three-hour trip will allow you to see some of the most incredible, hidden parts of Patagonia.

At around 7:15pm, after an unforgettable day discovering the area, we’ll bring our tour to a close by dropping you back at your hotel for the evening in El Calafate.
