Tour Details

We will collect you from your hotel and commence our ATV trip through the Huyliche mountain range to the balconies of El Calafate. We will drive up to 1,100 metres above sea level to enjoy views of the Andes Mountains, the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, the steppe, and Lake Argentino.

After a photo stop at Cerro Huyliche, we will hike down to the El Calafate Balconies for an informational talk about the geography and geology of Cerro Fitz Roy, Lake Argentino, and the Perito Moreno Glacier.

We will return down the mountain in the off-road vehicle to visit Estancia Huyliche, a cattle ranch from the 1920s, where we will learn about its history and take a break for lunch or a snack, depending on your tour time.

Lunch includes a meat empanada, beef casserole, chocolate brownie, mineral water, juice, and a glass of Santa Julia Malbec red wine, with an upgrade option for a Premium wine.
