Fodor's Expert Review Estancia Cristina

El Calafate, Santa Cruz, 9405, Argentina Fodor's Choice

Arriving at Estancia Cristina by catamaran on Lago Argentina past fields of ice and imposing mountains is just the beginning of a remarkable Patagonian adventure: on arrival you'll be treated to cozy accommodations, delicious cuisine, and unbeatable excursions to little-explored corners of the park. Fill your days with trekking, horseback riding, fly-fishing, bird-watching, four-wheel drives to see the glacier from above, and a visit to the lovingly preserved family museum in which you can discover the fascinating history of this remote estancia.
