• Estancia 25 de Mayo - Estancia 25 de Mayo is a traditional Patagonian ranch spanning 17,000 hectares, with its historic main house located just minutes from downtown El Calafate. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and take in the scenery at the base of Calafate Hill, providing an opportunity to experience rural life.

The gathering takes place in the ranch’s park, within the gardens of Kau Yatun Hotel. Guests are warmly welcomed with mate and typical fried pastries, followed by an introductory talk about the history of the pioneers, transporting the group back in time. After brewing an old-fashioned “road” coffee, dogs will showcase their skills by herding sheep to the patio.

Next, a stroll along a small stream leads to the “Machines Museum,” an open-air exhibit featuring old vehicles used for fieldwork. Upon reaching the “warehouse” and barnyards, there is a presentation on the local wool production process. The walk ends with a “Patagonian wine tasting” by the stream, and on the return journey, visitors can explore the organic gardens and plant nursery.

Back at the “El Quincho” restaurant, dinner is served alongside a folk dance show performed by local artists.
