We spent two nights and three days at Nibepo Aike after spending a few days sightseeing in Buenos AIres. We enjoyed a number of great hikes and had a chance to do two long horseback rides. The estancia is a beautiful property with indescribable views in every direction. All of the meals at the estancia are homemade from ingredients grown... More

We stayed at Nibepo Aike at stage 2 of our Argentina holiday, after 4 days in Buenos Aires. As is so often the case, the body had arrived but the soul was still somewhere halfway between UK and Argentina. In Nibepo Aike the soul and body joined up again. A wonderfully beautiful place, well situated with lots of opportunities to... More

We went to Nibepo for a half day countryside activity. It was amazing. The location and the service is great. Good food, interesting activities and unforgettable views. We loved it! More

We went here after hiking at Torres del Paines and it was the perfect two day break before heading to Buenos Aires. This is an actual working ranch but with nice accomodations for travelers set up in what looks like an old ranch house (I am sure it has been added on to). We spent one day going to the... More

My wife and I have become a bit addicted to the whole Argentina Estancia thing and have now been to 6 estancias all over the country and I'd put Nibepo Aike in the top 2. We are keen horseriders and travelled with my mother and a couple of friends who are also very experienced riders. The horesriding was great, they... More

We stayed one night, and paid extra for 2 full days activities in Nibepo Aike in December 09. The location is nice, however, the quality of service and activities offered is very poor and unprofessional.Very expensive for what is offered. It is a "working ranch", but we saw limited gaucho activities, the focus is more on tourism. Actually, it is... More

We booked in at Nibepo Aike at the last minute on a last minute trip to Argentina. I can safely say it was the best thing we did during the entire visit. I am so relieved that we didn't stay in El Calafate. This was the real deal. The reason we came to Argentina. An inspiring place. The lodgings were... More

I booked this place based on other traveler's reviews and it was spot on! The location is gorgeous and, although they were not super-efficient, they were very eager to help and make your stay enjoyable. I took the advice of one reviewer and rented a car and I am glad I did. I am a young woman traveling alone and... More

A beautiful, peaceful, authentic hide-away - far from the kitsch tourism of El Calafate. The old farmhouse is very comfortable - we spent a lazy afternoon reading next to the roaring fire. Walks up the mountain reward you with breathtaking scenery! The restaurant provided mouth-watering asado in stomach-distending quantities! Short trip to Perito Moreno glacier. Remember to take cash -... More

We stayed at Nibepo in March of 2009 so that we could experience an Argentinian ranch and also visit the Glacier. I must say that the setting was perfect. We loved hiking up the hill behind the ranch and enjoying the marvelous view of the Andes and the lake. The horseback riding was great for 2 beginners and the lunch... More
