4x4 midday safari from El Calafate into the Patagonian steppe and Estancia 25 de Mayo, with wildlife spotting and ranch lunch.

“We booked this and had a private tour as we were the only ones that evening. Our guide, Guillermo, was on-time, knowledgeable and very personable. He was great at animal spotting (rhea, guanaco, hares, tuko tulo, condors, and a very wide variety of other birds as well. His love of the country side and pride in his home town was clear and joyful to be part of. We saw an ancient burial site and had wine, appetizers and dinner at the Estancia 25 de Mayo all with a warm and cozy fire.

4x4 El Calafate safari to wildlife, fossilized oyster reefs, chenque sites, and a warm lunch or dinner at Estancia 25 de Mayo.

The kittens, the fireplace, the delicious food. The view from the large windows was like a painting. We really had a dreamy time. I recommend it. ！！！！”
