The Upsala Glacier is one of the most important within Los Glaciares National Park. A journey to Estancia Cristina is the perfect chance to see the Glacier and have an approach to the lifestyle of the first inhabitants of this remote area.
The Estancia Cristina program is a balanced combination of nature, history and leisure. It starts by sailing the Lago Argentino, across impressive icebergs and mountains, up to the front of the Upsala Glacier.
From there we sail to the Estancia arriving at lunch time.
Once here, visitors can choose between 2 different programs. One involves a relaxed afetrnoon around the Estancia and another one includes a beautiful hike to a nearby mountain.
Upon arrival the program starts with a delicious and traditional patagonic lunch in the Estancia’s restaurant, which has been built on the base of an old wool drying spot and has a fabulous view.
It continues with a visit to the main house, the chapel and the museum. We discover the lifestyle of the first settlers of the Estancia, and their relation with legendary explorers of the last century.
Another alternative is to reach a panoramic point by hiking to the Carnero Mountain. From there we can admire the mountain chain and its glaciers. The activity includes a lunch box.
Visitors who choose to spend the night in the Estancia, can choose from a wider variety of programs, including horseback riding, birdwatching, fishing and a variety of other hiking programs. |
