Cristina Ranch Horse Ride
Description
Discover the breathtaking scenery within Los Glaciares National Park through a remarkable horseback riding experience at the Estancia Cristina ranch. This adventure promises stunning vistas of Argentino Lake and the majestic mountains that encircle it!
Description
Your journey begins with a pickup from your accommodation in El Calafate, followed by a minibus transfer to the pier at Punta Bandera.
Upon our arrival, we will embark on a delightful boat journey along the picturesque Upsala channel. Once we disembark at Estancia Cristina, the horses will be ready for us. After receiving a brief orientation on riding these gentle creatures, we will commence our equestrian exploration.
As we traverse the valleys, the impressive Cerro Norte looms ahead. Our destination is the serene Laguna Pearson, where we will take a moment to unwind and savor a meal that includes meat, sandwiches, a brownie, and a refreshing glass of wine, with a vegetarian option available— a veggie sandwich on seeded bread.
Once rejuvenated, we will head back to the stables to explore the Costumbrista Museum at the ranch. We will conclude the day by returning to the pier at 5:30 pm for our boat ride back to Punta Bandera.
Your adventure wraps up with a drop-off at your hotel in El Calafate, approximately 12.5 hours after we first picked you up.
