Only 20 kilometers away from El Calafate, on the same way to the Perito Moreno Glacier, is an old sheep farm named “El Galpón del Glaciar”. The establishment is surrounded by 3,5 kilometers of the shore of the Lago Argentino and 1,5 kilometers of the riverbank of the Centinela River: both offer an ideal environment to enjoy activities in contact with nature. Welcome. We will be waiting for you to know and to enjoy Patagonia.
We invite you to discover our day trip to enjoy Estancia El Galpón. We will greet you with a traditional reception in our old-fashioned shearing shed, built in 1912.
Then you will get to know the Estancia and learn about its history, the place, and all the typical activities in Patagonia: a guided walk to the shores of the Lago Argentino, sheepherding with kelpies dogs and gauchos, shearing demonstration, and other rural activities are all part of our proposal.
And to end the day, some delicious homemade “Empanadas” and the typical Patagonian lamb, made at home and on the grill.
