Depending on arrival:
Airport Pick Up in El Calafate, Check in at an Estancia Nibepo Aike or similar.
IF staying in an estancia, it is living like a local. An estancia is in essence a Patagonian farm where you will be surrounded by the awe inspiring views over the mountain ranges and give you the opportunity to get out and explore the remote region via horseback. Perhaps best of all, you’ll find unmatched hospitality and delicious home cooked meals.
Lunch on your own.
7:00pm Welcome Dinner from the Estancia.
Patagonia is home to its own unique dishes that are very hearty and meat-based. From the slow-roasted lamb to massive burgers and stews, there’s so much to try. The one dish you can’t leave without trying is the Lamb al Asador.
Other Afternoon Suggestions:
- 4:00pm Meet, Check out the town. Drinks at a local brewery or at any Ice Bar for unlimited drinks (expect to pay $$)
- Take your time... Savor Mother Nature... You will definitely feel the magic of the surroundings.
- Admire the starry skies, hopefully it's a clear night. Due to the lack of light pollution in the area, you’ll be able to find more stars and constellations than most places in the world.
