Um passeio sem grandes expectativas, que se revelou bastante agradável. A Estância fica bem perto do centrinho de Calafate, e a estrutura montada para receber os turistas é muito bem organizada. Acompanhados por um guia, conhecemos a história dos pioneiros e as atividades praticadas na estância. Em vários momentos, são oferecidas deliciosas comidinhas e bebidas típicas, finalizando com um jantar muito bem servido e um show com músicas e danças folclóricas. Recomendo.

Fully enjoyed the day ! Beautiful property and learned about the history of the ranch. We watched a demonstration of sheep herding and shearing. Participated in milking a cow as well as watching 2 rancheros competing in a horse barrel race. We added the 3 hour horse back ride and so glad we did. The luncheon was also
Very good and plentiful .
