Estancia Cristina discovery trio - An incredible 1st trip of the season with the Estancia Cristina team. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. The boat trip was superb with stunning views. Once at the estancia we had a 4 x 4 trip up the mountain and then a short walk to a viewing area for the Upsala glacier. The views were absolutely stunning and we were fortunate enough to see many condors. The 4 x 4 driver was incredibly talented at navigating the lumpy bumpy road. Once back at the farm we enjoyed a fabulous lunch with wine and an informative tour of the museum. Thank you to all of the Estancia Cristina team. You delivered an unforgettable 1st trip of the season and we were delighted to be part of it! Viki & Andy

They are guided tours, navigation is good, with information in English and Spanish. - The place is dreamy ,the views are amazing, never a photo would do justice.It is for our eyes and our mind.Postcard landscapes , must certainly.

Magical Setting - The setting was surpassed only by the staff. The natural beauty speaks for itself but the level of service was amazing. I wish I could remember all of the names but Brenda (Pocket) and Balin (horseback guide) are among the stand outs. Brenda at one point t saw from a distance that my friend and ai had gotten off the path and ran to catch us and save us from ourselves.

Wonderful ride! - Beautiful ride sailing to the Upsala Glacier in the middle of the icebergs. The Cristina ranch has a wonderful landscape and the walk to the waterfall is divine. No difficulty in doing it. The food is delicious and they serve it in a very nice restaurant with a wonderful view of the place. The guides are super friendly and always try to make sure you enjoy the ride.

Magical day on horseback - We took a boat to the estancia, passing icebergs and the Upsal Glacier on the way. Then we had a beautiful horseback ride through a valley, crossing streams on horseback and lunching at a little house next to Lake Pearson. Our guides, Roberto and Vicente, were knowledgeable, friendly, and great asado preparers. A day I will never forget.

Estancia Cristina - The most beautiful place on earth. The accommodations were lovely. Heaven. Magnificent scenery, hiking, history

4x4 Experience - Everything was awesome. The staff was professional and the trip was well organized. The lunch was amazing and exceeded expectations. Overall everything was great and would highly recommend.

Beautiful place with a fascinating history - We did the Estancia Cristina Discovery tour. They asked us to show up at 8:20 at the Bandera port, we were there punctually, it was raining a lot. We waited in the car until 8:30 when the doors opened to get on the boat. We all got on there but we waited almost 1 hour inside the boat for some last passengers, who we believe arrived late... it seemed disrespectful to us that those of us who arrived on time had to wait. The ride on the boat was very good, clean bathrooms, comfortable seats. Before entering the iceberg channel, the photographer introduced himself and said he would take professional photos throughout the trip, and it was USD 50 for the digital pendrive with all the photos. We took photos in front of the icebergs and assumed that he would later be in the ranch taking more photos but we never saw him again until we got back on the boat... for 5 photos with the icebergs it wasn't worth it, the nice thing would have been if we I took out in the stay too but he didn't do it. We had lunch and after visiting the museum where they explained the great history of the ranch, they took us in a 4x4 to visit the Upsala Glacier viewpoint, the 1-hour journey there and the same back. When you arrive at the viewpoint, dress warmly because it freezes in the wind! After returning there directly to the boat, it seems to me that that 1 hour that we wasted waiting on the boat would have been nice to have free to enjoy the place and be able to take photos and walk around the area, but the return trip was too rushed. We were back at the flag port at 7 p.m.

Excellent collaborators and beautiful facilities - I had a fantastic stay, upon arrival not everything was good, but through the concierge Andres (very young and very committed), he facilitated all the amenities, as well as dinner reservations...the Italian restaurant MY CASA, super delicious and great choice , and Luana (super entertainer, very kind and prompt in attention), rescued us from how little bad they had made us feel, and lifted our spirits, the experience with her was wonderful, with Crisanto as well as Tiburcio, who did his best to that I had the drinks of my choice and was always attentive. Every person we met on a path, counter or office always received the same response: WELCOME. A PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU, AND SMILING. As a general tip, always arrive and reserve your dinners since they are always full and with little space....

Stunning scenery but our stay was not as expected - As part of our Argentina tour we chose to stay one night here as we wanted to experience an estancia. It is approx.3 hours to reach the Estancia after pick up by mini bus and then the catamaran across the lake. The good bits; The scenery on the boat trip is amazing The scenery at the Estancia is incredible, literally off grid in the middle of nowhere. The food during our stay was incredible and well presented All the staff were great, really helpful and friendly The not so good: One of the beds in our room had some mould probably due to humidity throughout the season but when we pointed this out clean bedding was provided but the mattress was just turned over. It wasn’t clear what activities we could do prior to our stay and I wish we had known before. On the website there was fishing, horseback riding, trekking etc but when we arrived we were not offered all of these It’s a very long day after your night stop, activities start at 8.30am and you’re not back until early afternoon and the boat leaves at 5pm meaning you don’t reach El Calafate until 8pm in the evening - something to consider if you have early flights out the next day. We enjoyed the experience but felt planning of activities could be better. and there would be more choice of activities for those staying
