Estancia 25 de Mayo
An ideal place to rest and enjoy the landscape at the foot of Cerro Calafate
A Patagonian stay with history
Estancia 25 de Mayo is a medium-distance excursion. This typical Patagonian estancia is located very close to the center of El Calafate, which shows its historical connection with the birth and growth of the city. It is an ideal place to rest and enjoy the landscape at the foot of the Calafate hill and breathe the purest Patagonian air.
There are different ways to enjoy this historic estancia. Choose the one you like best.
We will begin our excursion by picking up the passengers at their hotels. Once at the estancia, they will welcome us with fried cakes while they tell us about the history of the estancia, the first settlers of El Calafate and how their activities were carried out at the beginning of the 20th century. There will be a demonstration of the typical Patagonian activity of herding sheep with dogs.
After the talk and the herding of sheep, we will continue with a walk around the estancia and along the Calafate stream while we visit the old shearing shed and the corrals. There, we will be given a demonstration of sheep shearing with scissors and we will also visit the organic garden where part of the vegetables used in the ranch’s barbecue area for dinner are produced.
Once the tour of the ranch is over, we will head to “El Quincho” where dinner will be waiting for us. To finish, we will enjoy a folkloric show that highlights a tour of typical Argentine dances.
