3. Tour through the facilities of this typical Patagonian ranch. Hiking to see the south branch of the Argentinean Lake, and to discover varied rocky formations eroded by glacier action and the changes in the lake’s levels. After the hiking, we go to the door of the shearing barn. The whole process will be explained and scissors will be used to make a demonstration of the traditional way to shear. Afterwards we’ll proceed to do a “test of rein” with riders or farm labor in the stables close to the center, depending on the activities of the day.

About El Calafate

El Calafate is a small Patagonian town on the shore of Lago Argentino, the base for the Perito Moreno Glacier and Los Glaciares National Park.

El Calafate lies on the south shore of Lago Argentino, a milky turquoise lake fed by glacial meltwater, with the Andes on the western horizon. The town is named after the calafate, a thorny shrub with dark berries, and a local saying promises that anyone who eats them will return to Patagonia. It was founded in the 1920s to serve the surrounding sheep estancias and now exists chiefly as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park.
