- Welcome and Transfer from El Calafate
This program traverses the rugged landscapes that define Southern Patagonia: hanging glaciers, lenga forests, rivers with waterfalls, and dramatic mountain scenery. Above all, it is a journey through a pristine and remote wilderness where navigation is often done by sight and marked trails are scarce. The sense of solitude is one of the most remarkable aspects of the experience.
As you hike through the valleys separating Estancia Helsingfors and Estancia Cristina, you will feel as though Patagonia remains a land waiting to be discovered. Everything here is vast, wild, and untouched.
Today, you will be welcomed at the airport and transferred to Estancia La Estela, located on the shores of Lake Viedma. The afternoon will be dedicated to trip preparations, gear check, and a review of the itinerary.
