    The setting was surpassed only by the staff. The natural beauty speaks for itself but the level of service was amazing. I wish I could remember all of the names but Brenda (Pocket) and Balin (horseback guide) are among the stand outs. Brenda at one point t saw from a distance that my friend and ai had gotten off the path and ran to catch us and save us from ourselves.

    As part of our Argentina tour we chose to stay one night here as we wanted to experience an estancia. It is approx.3 hours to reach the Estancia after pick up by mini bus and then the catamaran across the lake. The good bits; The scenery on the boat trip is amazing The scenery at the Estancia is incredible, literally off grid in the middle of nowhere. The food during our stay was incredible and well presented All the staff were great, really helpful and friendly The not so good: One of the beds in our room had some mould probably due to humidity throughout the season but when we pointed this out clean bedding was provided but the mattress was just turned over. It wasn’t clear what activities we could do prior to our stay and I wish we had known before. On the website there was fishing, horseback riding, trekking etc but when we arrived we were not offered all of these It’s a very long day after your night stop, activities start at 8.30am and you’re not back until early afternoon and the boat leaves at 5pm meaning you don’t reach El Calafate until 8pm in the evening - something to consider if you have early flights out the next day. We enjoyed the experience but felt planning of activities could be better. and there would be more choice of activities for those staying

    We took a boat to the estancia, passing icebergs and the Upsal Glacier on the way. Then we had a beautiful horseback ride through a valley, crossing streams on horseback and lunching at a little house next to Lake Pearson. Our guides, Roberto and Vicente, were knowledgeable, friendly, and great asado preparers. A day I will never forget.

    Upsala Expediciones

    Estancia Cristina has the great advantage of being extremely close to the Upsala Glacier, one of the most awe-inspiring sights in Los Glaciares National Park that’s only a few kilometers from our lodge. Perhaps the most unforgettable experience when staying with us is cruising along the waters of Lake Argentino, with soaring mountains and icebergs as a dramatic backdrop before reaching the face of mighty Upsala itself.
