Itinerary

Framed by simply spectacular views of the Andes, sitting on the banks of Lago Argentino, and covering an area of over 12,000 hectares, Nibepo Aike holds true to the essence of traditional Patagonian ranches. Immerse yourself in the daily activities of a local gaucho and experience a way of life that has existed for more than three centuries.

This authentic Argentinian adventure starts with a hotel pickup at your selected departure time, whereupon you will be driven along a beautiful scenic route through the Patagonian steppe to the picture postcard location of Nibepo Aike. It is here that your estancia experience begins: your host for the day will welcome you with some homemade pastries that can be eaten al fresco to allow you some time to absorb the breathtaking natural surroundings.

Fully refreshed, you can then take a guided tour of Nibepo Aike’s attractions before heading out for a hike around the southern bend of Lago Argentino (there is also the option to go horseback riding which comes at an additional cost). En route you will explore the rocky outcrops surrounding the lake, venture into forests home to a rich variety of trees, observe the local wildlife in all its splendour, and enjoy some awe-inspiring vistas.

Upon your return, the expert guide will introduce you to some typical everyday estancia activities, which can vary according to the daily schedule, before taking you back to the barbeque where the hosts will have prepared some exquisite Patagonian lamb (there is also a vegetarian option available). As you dine, you can watch on as the gauchos herd their cattle, corral their sheep on the mountainside, and flaunt their horse-riding skills – an opportunity to truly savour the majesty of Nibepo Aike.

Argentina is one of the last refuges of this unique lifestyle. Experience it first hand and book this once in a lifetime tour with Argentina4u now.
