Nibepo Aike Ranch Visit & Perito Moreno Boat Trip

Discover the customs, traditions, and gastronomy of Argentinean culture in Patagonia with our Nibepo Aike Ranch Visit & Perito Moreno Boat Trip. Experience local traditions and enjoy a boat trip next to the Perito Moreno Glacier.

Boat Trip Details

At the scheduled time, we will meet at your hotel in El Calafate and drive to Nibepo Aike Ranch, located next to the Brazo Rico on the southern shore of Lake Argentino.

During the visit to this Patagonian ranch, we will explore rural Argentine customs and traditions. We will start with a shearing demonstration at the sheep shed, followed by observing tasks performed by gauchos.

After the rural chores, we will enjoy a traditional Patagonian lunch featuring roast lamb with salad, local wine, and a dulce de leche crêpe. Following lunch, we will head to Lake Argentino for a boat ride on the Brazo Rico.

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

After taking in the views, we will return to the boat and sail along the south face of Perito Moreno, enjoying a glass of whisky with glacier ice and chocolates. We will stop on dry land to view the ice giant from the Perito Moreno footbridges during less crowded times.

We will then sail back to Lake Argentino and drive back to El Calafate, with hotel arrival scheduled for 10 hours after pickup.
