Explore, relax, and take in scenic views at Estancia 25 de Mayo!
Step into authentic Patagonian ranch life with this guided tour of Estancia 25 de Mayo, located near El Calafate. Your experience includes exploring the historic ranch grounds, learning about traditional farming practices, and enjoying a regional dinner at "El Quincho" restaurant complete with an Argentine folklore show.
The tour takes you through the ranch's scenic grounds at the base of Cerro Calafate, where you'll discover historic buildings, native Patagonian flora, and hear stories of early pioneers who settled this remote region. After working up an appetite exploring the wide-open fields and taking in panoramic countryside views, you'll sit down to a traditional Patagonian lamb dinner prepared over an open fire, followed by live music and dance performances showcasing Argentine cultural heritage.
Tours are conducted in Spanish and English. Dinner includes food but drinks are available for separate purchase. Vegetarian options can be arranged if you notify your guide in advance. The ranch involves walking on uneven ground and is not wheelchair accessible.
Bring a jacket as Patagonian evenings can be quite cool. Transportation picks up from your accommodation in El Calafate, so arrive on time for your scheduled transfer to make the most of your ranch experience.
