What you can expect

Starting at 16:15 PM, we will pick you up at the hotel and drive to the Estancia Galpon del Glaciar. Our Country Day is the ideal opportunity to enjoy and get to know Patagonia in contact with nature. Beginning with a reception with mate, chocolate, tea and traditional homemade products in our old Galpon, built in 1912.

Then we accompany you to know the Estancia and learn about the history, this place and the typical Patagonian activities: guided walk to the Lago Argentino through the Natural Reserve “Laguna de los Pájaros” and Lake Argentino, a path of interpretation of Patagonian flora and fauna and sighting of more than 40 species of migratory birds, sheep herding with Kelpies dogs and horses, shearing demonstrations in the shed to learn more about the wool production in this area, and other typical rural activities are part of our proposal.

The guides will provide information about the exploitation, production, baling and transport of wool. A complete shearing demonstration is also given by the ranch's shearer. Afterwards, we head to the main part of the Estancia to enjoy a delicious typical Patagonian dinner, while watching an incredible tango and folklore show by local artists.

At the end of our dinner, we return to El Calafate around 22:00 PM.
