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 Perito Moreno Glacier.

Description

At the scheduled time, we'll meet 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 the ranch visit, we'll immerse ourselves in rural Argentine customs. We'll start with a shearing demonstration and observe other tasks performed by gauchos.

After the demonstrations, we'll have a traditional Patagonian lunch, including roast lamb with salad, local wine, and dulce de leche crêpe. Following lunch, we'll proceed to the shore of Lake Argentino for a boat ride on the Brazo Rico.

We'll stop at Monedas Beach to take a walk through a lenga beech forest leading to a viewpoint of the Perito Moreno Glacier, exclusively accessible on this excursion.

After enjoying the views, we'll return to the boat and sail along the south face of Perito Moreno while sipping whisky with ice from the glacier and sampling chocolates. We will make another stop at the Perito Moreno footbridges for unique views, arriving at a time with fewer visitors.

Finally, we'll sail back to the shore of Lake Argentino and drive to El Calafate, with an estimated return to your hotel 10 hours after pickup.

This activity includes pickup from hotels in the center of El Calafate. Alternatively, we can also pick you up from number 31, 7 de Diciembre Street.
