An amazing 3-night program to enjoy a 2-night trekking expedition from Estancia Nibepo Aike to Los Baguales

On foot through the vastness of Patagonia, you can explore the corners of Estancia Nibepo Aike, surrounded by the wild beauty of the Sierra Baguales range, until you reach the hidden glaciers.

A 3-day, 2-night trekking experience, with overnight stays at an outpost of the estate serving as a refuge where you can experience authentic rural Patagonian life, concluding the journey with the Glaciar Sur Adventure excursion.

The Baguales are domestic animals that have escaped from humans to return to nature. This hill is named after them because some wild horses and cows still roam that remote area.
