Itinerary

Estancia Cristina is the most beautiful of the Patagonian estancias. Located near various glaciers, in a space with waterfalls and a stunning view of Lake Argentino, it is a must-visit for anyone in El Calafate!

In addition to exploring the estancia, we can reach the best viewpoints in the region via 4×4, with the possibility of seeing the entire Upsala Glacier. Truly breathtaking!

We departed from the hotel in El Calafate early in the morning towards the beautiful Lake Argentino.

Upon arriving at Puerto Punta Bandera, we embark on a delightful 2-hour navigation through the northern arm of Lake Argentino until we reach the Upsala Canal, where we are suddenly surrounded by several icebergs. We pass very close to these ice giants. We then reach the panoramic point of the famous Upsala Glacier, the surprisingly third-longest glacier formation in South America.

We arrive at the estancia’s port where we disembark and board a 4×4 to explore the area for 9.5 km. We climb the mountain where we start a 30-minute walk on glacial erosion terrain. After this walk, we reach the viewpoint of the Upsala Glacier. Simply fantastic!! A truly spectacular view!

With the privileged view ahead, we spend some time contemplating the view of Lake Guillermo and the imposing eastern front of the Upsala Glacier and the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.

We then return to the 4×4 to head back to the main entrance where we’ll have time to enjoy a delicious lunch.

Satisfied, we’ll visit the Costumbrista Museum, where we see old objects used on the estancia and learn about the history of the founding family, understanding the importance of estancias in the historical context of the Patagonian region.

We also take a short guided walk to the Caterina River, the mill, the chapel, and we’ll also tour the main house of the estancia.

After this tour of this fairy-tale-like place, we return to the estancia’s port to board back to El Calafate full of beautiful photographs and memories.
