Estancia Cristina Off-Roading Tour
Activity Details
When we're all gathered at the Estancia Cristina pier, we'll board the off-road vehicles to enjoy a 4WD route through one of the most beautiful landscapes of El Calafate. Get ready to feel a rush of adrenaline.
Aboard the jeep, we'll travel through the Feruglio mountain range at full speed, enjoying the glacial environment that surrounds us. Afterward, we'll start a 20-minute walk to the Upsala Glacier viewpoint. The effort will be worth it, as you'll enjoy stunning views of this Argentine jewel of nature.
While we enjoy this unique panorama, we'll talk about the geological characteristics of Argentinean Patagonia, and you'll hear fascinating facts, such as how Upsala is the third-largest ice sheet in the world!
We'll leave the viewpoint behind and take a break to eat and recover our strength. You'll have two Argentinean empanadas, lamb casserole, or pasta with pesto, and a flan. The menu includes wine or soda and coffee or tea.
Afterward, we'll visit the main areas of Estancia Cristina and get to know the lifestyle of the local people. To finish, we'll hop on a boat that will take us back to the pier, before starting our way back to El Calafate at 8 pm.
