What a treat...watching a gaucho move a herd of sheep or a herd of horses with the help of a border collie while eating breakfast. Listening to the birds in the morning while getting ready for the day and witnessing a flock of pink flamingos take to the sky! A very convenient location to get a jump start on the... More

My husband and I stayed at El Galpon during a 6-week backpacking tour of South America and splashed out on two nights at this estancia. We were looking for a haven of peace after bustling cities and hostels and found more than we could have wished for. The staff were extremely friendly, easygoing and accommodating and the estancia was beautifully... More

We arrived friday evening after a long day of travelling (30 hrs of flights and layovers). A driver met us at the airport carrying a sign with our names on it. Its about a half hour drive from the airport to el galpon. We drove thru el calafate on the way ( more on this later). We stayed in mid... More

Eight North American friends spend three days at El Galpon del Glaciar (Nov 2011) and loved it. It is a huge former sheep ranch that now caters to Agrotourism. Fabulous surroundings with many activities available including horse riding, mountain biking and hiking. Great wildlife with many close photo opportunities. The food was very good, but remember Argentinians eat sugar stuff... More

We had 3 nights almost on our own here (April 2011), and it almost felt like we were just friends calling in at the ranch. It's a great location out of the touristy bustle that is now El Calafate, and is nearer to Perito Moreno in any case. It also has great views across the lake to the north, and... More

A stay at Estancia Alice is a must! We stayed in BA for 6 days so was quite over the city life and we were fast running out of things to do. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a home style country haven, where we were seated with a drink and spoken to about the facilities in person.... More

Amazing location just near the Argentinian Lake (el Lago Argentino) with horses, sheep, dogs and very enjoyable nature-oriented energy. Perfect base for any excursions as the hotel is based between Perito Moreno and the city, so all the buses will pick you up (you do not need to go to the city to take any of the excursions). The service... More

We spent 4 days of our honeymoon on the ranch and we had a wonderful stay there. Rooms are very cozy, food is really good (best hamburgers of our lives!) The ranch is situated on a hill with amazing views of the lake. The staff was welcoming, very nice, and always helpful. Horse riding was truly spectacular, a dream come... More

Before staying here I was somewhat concerned with some negative reviews I had read about this place. After staying here I have to say that we absolutely loved it. First off the location is on this beautiful lake. It’s a very tranquil setting and the staff were all very nice. We stayed here for two nights but I wished we... More
