Safari Experience<\/strong><\/span>
\nSafari Experience Excursion combines 4×4 Expedition, photography safari, and the experience to relax at an authentic Patagonian estancia<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Safari Experience excursion begins with hotel pickup (1), with departures at either 9 AM or 4 PM.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ll travel for about a kilometer on Provincial Route N\u00b015 until we reach the Huyliche Estancia. After passing through its main area (casco), we’ll enter the “Estancia 25 de Mayo” Nature Reserve.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our first stop will be at an old stone building where the estancia’s first family lived: the Villalbas. Here, we’ll learn about estancias, the early settlers, the beginnings of El Calafate and the Estancia 25 de Mayo under the Villalbas; the region’s productive activities, and the subsequent acquisition of the estancia by the Ariztiz\u00e1bal family.<\/span><\/p>\n

The journey continues by vehicle until we arrive at “La Secci\u00f3n,” a genuine estancia nestled in the vast Patagonian landscape. Here, we make our second stop for wildlife spotting on Cerro 25 de Mayo.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the perfect time for photography enthusiasts, who can also take advantage of the binoculars and telescope provided by Safari Experience (a tripod, telephoto lenses, and other digital photography accessories are also available for sharing with passengers who have compatible Nikon cameras).<\/span><\/p>\n

The third stop is made in the midst of abundant wildlife; after leaving the vehicle, we’ll walk towards herds of guanacos. This is your chance to get up close and personal with these amazing creatures.After traveling another 4 kilometers by vehicle, we’ll reach a fossil oyster bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our fourth stop will be to admire this wall formed by an oyster reef that is 23 million years old. We’ll provide a brief explanation of the area’s paleontology and geology, so you can understand how the desert you’re standing in was once covered by the sea.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ll then continue south, approaching the Chilean border, and reaching the Centinela viewpoint: a 1500-meter-high hill offering stunning panoramic views of endless basalt cliffs, Cerro Centinela, and the Baguales (hills marking the southern border with Chile). This is our fifth stop, a moment to relax, feel the wind, and take in the vastness of Patagonia.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ll begin our return journey, stopping at “La Secci\u00f3n.”<\/span><\/p>\n

A field lunch or dinner will be served at a genuine estancia, nestled in the vast Patagonian steppe. The house has a spacious living and dining room with views of Cerro 25 de Mayo, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and bedrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, we’ll transfer you back to your hotels in El Calafate.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Total distance traveled: 40 kilometers.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_id=”itinerario”]<\/p>\n
