Authentic with exclusive location
The trip to the lodge alone is one of the most beautiful excursions in Patagonia. By catamaran you first sail between the icebergs and breathtaking landscapes of the northern arm of lago argentino,argentina's largest lake. You'll sail until you see the wall of the Upsala Glacier, then land at the remote Estancia Cristina, founded in 1914 – you'll get an explanation of the history of this estate and the pioneers and their customs that came here first.
Spending the night on the Estancia means a true Patagonian experience in a stunning secluded environment surrounded by snow-capped mountains, lakes, rivers and hanging glaciers; the immense expanse of beauty makes you feel very small.
