Estancia Nibepo Aike, Los Glaciares National Park

Is there a more relaxed way of seeing the countryside – or gaining an insight into the workings of an authentic Argentinian estancia – than from the back of a horse?

If you really want to feel at one with the natural environment of rural Argentina and immerse yourself in the lifestyle of the country’s famous gauchos who still herd flocks in traditional cowboy style, you should join them at Estancia Nibepo. Here you’ll cross sweeping countryside at a horse’s pace, drive sheep or cattle and soak in the views of Argentino Lake.

You’ll also come to appreciate the way of life of gauchos on an authentic working estancia, way out in Los Glaciares National Park. Later you’ll be watching sheep shearing, admiring the phenomenal skills of local horsemen demonstrating their bolas-throwing prowess and feasting on lamb grilled on a traditional cross stake. To discover the real rural Patagonia during your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Argentina, visit Estancia Nibepo Aike.
