When I was planning my trip to Argentina, heard about a tour through the icebergs in the Lake Argentina in the Calafate. But… I wanted more! Although I was planning on visiting the Perito Moreno Glacier, I was looking for a different tour and found it in Estancia Cristina. A one day trip for Calafate. The excitement began on the... More

Our 4x4 trip to the top of the mountain was fun...our driver/guide was excellent and very knowledgeable and passionate about the environment at the Estancia. The view after the walk to the top was one of the most spectacular sights I've ever seen...with mountain tops, glaciers, gorgeous blue lake and even an avalanche 'plume'!! Also enjoyed the lunch and the... More

We booked three days at the Estancia Cristina through Alejandro Varrente at Breaking Trails. It is a magical place, with views that go on forever. The rooms were very lovely with views of the mountains, and the meals were delicious. An excursion to the glacier in a four-wheel drive vehicle, followed by a hike through the canyon of fossils was... More

Sheep shearing once happened here and so did many mountaineers travel through here. For those of us even now, it is a wonderful place to stop and see the scenery at a remote location and have delicious hot meals served to us. Sort of a paradise in the middle of nowhere! I took the 4x4 ride an additional 45 minutes... More

Arriving by a boat ride through amazing icebergs we approached Estancia Christina. We spent 2 nights here with Backroads. The rooms were lovely, very cozy. We were in the middle of a huge valley with spectacular views in all directions. A former ranch turned into a national park. A absolute must is a hike through the fossil canyon. Take a... More

We went to EC on a day trip a couple of weeks ago at the end of February and with only two days in El Calafate, we took a lot of time choosing which trips to do. We decided to do this one and Big Ice and both were 5* days. This trip is expensive - about GBP130 each but... More

I could have spent a week here just relaxing and absorbing the atmopshere. Even with a boatful of tourists it was a serene place. The museum was interesting - I wished we had a little more time to take it all in. The trip in the 4x4 vehicles to the top of the mountain was exciting and the views were... More

very beautiful landscape but is super overpriced. we loved, but will be better if the prices are a bit fair.

As a summary, that is a real day loss, for at least 650p, probably 850p. Definitely too expensive for what it is. Nice boat trip to Glaciar Upsala until Estancia Cristina shores. During this trip, someone from the crew could tell you it is not possible to picnic on the Estancia, which is a lie. This person will just want... More
