Estância 25 de Mayo – Afternoon in the field

The Estância 25 de Mayo encompasses 17,000 hectares of land, and its old house is located just a few steps from the center of El Calafate. The city has grown close to one of the oldest ranches in the region. The place is ideal for relaxing and enjoying the landscape at the foot of Cerro Calafate. It’s a proposal to discover the rural side of the destination in this great pioneering Patagonian essence.

Within the farm, you will be welcomed with mate (traditional South American infused drink), cowboy coffee, typical of the region, and fried pastries, while they tell the story of the ranch and how its activities were carried out in the early 20th century. There will be a demonstration of the typical Patagonian activity of sheep shearing and a talk about wool production and all the details involved in this trade, including peculiarities and details that we never imagined in the context of “sheep.”

We will be able to learn details about a true Patagonian ranch, from old constructions and tools to walking through a plant nursery on the ranch, also the organic garden that produces vegetables used in the barbecue area of the farm for dinner, and even visiting the old shed and corrals.

Instead of the estate named “Mirador del Arroyo,” we will enjoy a tasty mountain wine with confit lamb.

For those who only did the afternoon field activity, they will return to the transports that will take them back to their respective hotels.
Those who booked the afternoon field + dinner show, which includes dinner with live music and a folkloric show, will head to the restaurant to enjoy a delicious Patagonian dinner with various food options and a beautiful folkloric show with live music.

This description only includes the afternoon field experience. For those who want the afternoon field + dinner show, they need to refer to another description labeled “AFTERNOON FIELD + DINNER SHOW.”
