An wonderful experience... the rocky ride on gravel added to the entire experience. We arrived, the kids got super involved by: riding horses, learning about sheep and wool, hiking, watching a great horse race, walking to the water, learning about the history of the area and enjoying some fantastic food (and unforgettable times with family). This experience is now in... More

Fabulous location on an arm of Lago Argentino. Very laid back feeling. Although it was (and still is) a family-owned place, the owner apparently lives elsewhere, and it feels like it. The place appears to be run by very pleasant and capable people of not much more than student age, who don't have much of commitment to it or to... More

The location is absolutely great in the middle of a Nationla park, but if you expect to see a real working farm, you will be dissapointed- a few sheep & cows that they have are just a tourist attraction. The location is good, but qua activities there is actually not much on offer. Horsebackriding is avialiable for 1 hour or... More

I just loved our stay here. We were there at the very end of the season, so we were probably the last guests before the winter set in. Driving down this road to the estancia (about an hour and a half? from el calafate), I was starting to wonder where I was taking my friends. I was nervous when we... More

We stayed here in January and were quite disappointed with our stay. The ranch is one and a half hour drive from El Calafate on a rough road and all day trips require three hour return trip. Service was hap hazard and it was difficult to find information on prebooked trips. Horse riding on the ranch was amazing but was... More

My wife and I spent two of our four nights in the Calafate area in mid-February at Nibepo Aike. We stayed at the much less expensive Hosteria Kau Kaleshen in Calafate itself for the first two nights because we arrived by plane in the evening and spent the entire next day visiting the Perito Moreno glacier (for which trekking on...

I Stayed at EOLO and Estancia Nibepo AIke in Calafate (as well as Del Pilar and La Quinta in Chalten, and visited Los Nostros and Los Cerros), and this was my top pick of all of them! While the others were lovely too, this was situated right on Lago Argentino, had the most dramatic views and was a spot that... More

We spent a wonderful 2 days here. Service is warm, the facilities charming, and the location stunning. The other reviews - and the pictures on their own website - tell the tale on this. The rates are good for the location. You'll see on their website that you can book the all-inclusive package or half-board, paying for extras on the... More

We were lucky enough to spend Christmas 2007 at Nibepo Aike, which happily coincided with some fantastic summer weather. We participated fully in the Noche Buena meal in the Quincho on 24th December (extra sparkling wine, and many of the unseen kitchen staff, appeared at midnight to wish us all well) and we had a memorable parilla lunch on 25th...

We did not stay but went out for a day trip. I was concerned that it would be a tourist thing but it was great. We go to ride horses and it was not your normal trail ride. I have been riding for years and we climb the horses way up a steep hill behind the ranch to take in... More
