Departure from El Calafate to take Road 15, also known as “The Ranches Trail”. During the journey it’s normal to see condors, foxes and hares in Cerro Frías as protagonists. After crossing Rio Rico, the scenery changes abruptly to turn into a cordillera landscape.

The guide will welcome you and take you to "El Quincho" (barbecue area) where you will have a hot beverage (tea, coffee or mate) with homemade pastries

Tour through the facilities of this typical Patagonian ranch. Hiking to see the south branch of the Argentinean Lake, and to discover varied rocky formations eroded by glacier action and the changes in the lake’s levels. After the hiking, we go to the door of the shearing barn. The whole process will be explained and scissors will be used to make a demonstration of the traditional way to shear. Afterwards we’ll proceed to do a “test of rein” with riders or farm labor in the stables close to the center, depending on the activities of the day.

Lunch at El Quincho where lamb will be ready to taste its delicious meat while enjoying the view of the Cordillera.
