As remote as you could find and as comfortable as your own home. Sail past icebergs to get there, ride horses to see the condors and hike up to the glacier. Fantastic. Worth every cent. More

The highlight of our holiday in South America - excellent facilities, attentive staff, great food (too much!) and magnificent scenery. Three days was just enough to do all the activities - hiking, 4x4 to view the glaciers, return hike through fossil canyon and the lush valley, riding with the gauchos, etc. Soledad did a great job and all the staff...

This is a fantastic place. Never been anywhere that could match it. Three days of hiking, riding, and enjoying the scenery. The staff was amazing, above all Soledad, who organized everything, and our two gauchos for the horse ride. The rain fell only at night so we had great weather. One's only complaint might be the endless strong wind -... More

Fabulous and informative hike through fossil canyon; fun horseback ride; nice hike on our own to a waterfall. It is heaven here and the museum and staff give you a sense of the place as it was first developed as a sheep farm. Agree with other reviews - a real high point of our trip. More

Amazing place, activities and staff. I was there for my honey moon and it was a great experience. We get an amazing weather in the first day and some rain in the next two days. The boat ride is amazing and we get close to some icebergs. The room is really great, and the view is fantastic. First day we... More

My stay at Estancia Cristina with my Backroads group was an amazing experience for all of us. Breathtaking views from every corner of the property, kind and knowledgeable employees and guides, comfortable rooms, and beautiful flora and fauna. Some highlights include spotting Fuegian Edelweiss, riding horses with the gauchos, finding an Andean Condor feather, boating on beautiful Lago Argentino with... More

The setting and activities of the Estancia were the highlight of our trip to Argentina. The boat ride getting there was amazing going through glaciers and icebergs. Even if you don't stay here come for the day. The hiking and the guides were superb. Take the 4 wheel drive to the end and hike back the 9 miles through the... More

when we think about our wonderful Adventure in Patagonia, if we have to choose 5 of the best moments ever (the ones you'll bring with you in your heart for the rest of your life)....Estancia Cristina is surely on the first positions! Everything is amazing there, starting from the navigation on the Argentino's Lake through an incredible iceberg's landscape. We... More
