Estancias in Los Glaciares
Estancias are the perfect place to disconnect: remote ranches offering a gaucho lifestyle, where you can explore their trails by day then sink into their rustic charms by night.

Estancia Nibepo Aike
Hotel overview:
Nibepo Aike has been family-run for generations. Even the name Nibepo comes from combining the nicknames of the original founder's daughters, and the rich history and culture is evident everywhere. From the sheep-shearing demonstrations to the black-and-white photos on the walls, you'll feel immersed in authentic Patagonia.

Why we like this estancia
- Experience an authentic working estancia in Los Glaciares National Park with sheep, cattle and horses all managed on the grounds
- The estancia's location is a huge draw, being just over an hour away from El Calafate. Get off the beaten track with little effort or time expended
- It is a great place for beginners to horse ride with Patagonian gauchos, and also suited to more experienced riders with some epic multi-day rides on offer
- The property is nestled in a quiet valley with stunning scenery all around. Hiking up the mountain behind the estancia presents incredible views over Lago Roca, snow-capped mountains and a hanging glacier; continue a little further and explore a peaceful lenga tree forest at the top
- With just 10 rooms and a charming laid-back atmosphere, you can expect complete relaxation and peace in your surroundings
