El Calafate Safari
Your journey begins with a hotel pickup at the chosen time, followed by a drive to the Estancia 25 de Mayo nature reserve.
Once there, you'll embark on a jeep to fully immerse yourself in a true safari experience. Expect to encounter remarkable wildlife including guanacos, which are akin to llamas, majestic Andean condors, and cunning foxes, among other fascinating species.
Your safari will not only focus on the local fauna; we’ll make various stops to investigate significant marine fossils discovered in this region. Additionally, you will gain insight into the area's diverse geology and the customary rural life in southern Argentina.
We’ll continue our adventure along the Calafate stream, progressing toward the mountains. An incredible viewpoint awaits, offering breathtaking panoramic vistas of the Sierra Baguales, which towers over 2000 meters. This mountain range notably forms the natural border between Argentina and Chile.
Before returning, we will pause for a delightful lunch or dinner, depending on your chosen safari time. Enjoy a selection of nourishing homemade soup, savory lamb casserole, and a delectable chocolate mousse. For those with dietary preferences, a vegetarian option featuring a fresh vegetable stir-fry, bread, and dessert is also available.
Feeling satisfied, we’ll escort you back to your hotel at two in the afternoon if you opted for the morning safari, or at nine in the evening for the afternoon excursion.
