Nibepo Aike Ranch Visit & Perito Moreno Boat Trip

Discover the customs, traditions and gastronomy of the Argentinean culture of Patagonia on our Nibepo Aike Ranch Visit & Perito Moreno Boat Trip. You'll learn about local traditions and enjoy a boat trip next to the famous Perito Moreno Glacier.

Description

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in El Calafate and drive to the Nibepo Aike ranch, located next to the Brazo Rico on the southern shore of Lake Argentino.

During this visit, we will engage with rural Argentine customs and traditions. The experience includes a shearing demonstration in the sheep shed and observing the tasks performed by the gauchos.

A traditional Patagonian lunch will follow, featuring roast lamb with salad, local wine, and a dulce de leche crêpe. After lunch, we will proceed to the shore of Lake Argentino for a boat ride on the Brazo Rico.

We will disembark at Monedas Beach for a walk through a lenga beech forest, leading to a viewpoint of the Perito Moreno Glacier, accessible only through this excursion.

After enjoying the views, we will sail along the south face of Perito Moreno, while savoring a glass of whisky with ice from the glacier and chocolates. Another stop will be made at the Perito Moreno footbridges for unique views of the glacier during off-peak times.

Finally, we will sail back to the shore of Lake Argentino and return to El Calafate, with an expected arrival at your hotel 10 hours after pickup.
