“A wonderful place to visit (if no large tour groups)”
The location in the middle of nowhere and the journey getting to Estancia Cristina is wonderful. The guiding and riding are included, with welcoming and knowledgeable staff. There are people visiting for the day, who are in separate areas to the guests.

“Incredible nature experience”
All was absolutely perfect. The landscape from the boat was amazing. The estancia is located in a pristine location in nature’s kingdom. You are nearly alone in the middle of nowhere. It is an incredible experience. The room is gorgeous. The staff incredible and the food delicious. The excursions are unbelievable especially the full day canyon walk and the full day horse ride. Nothing to change. We really recommend !!!

“10/10. Location, staff, food, activities, it’s just such a great place to go and spend a few days in the wilderness.”
This place is 10/10. From the moment you get on to the boat that drives your through ice fields to the hotel to the minute you step back onto it, truly special!!! Staff was very friendly, the remoteness is amazing if you seek it. Never stayed anywhere like this before. Very good food. Amazing activities.

“A beautiful perfect place to connect and recharge”
Everything! The staff, the facilities and the location, it was just perfection. We felt welcomed from the very moment we set foot on the boat where we had the whole floor to ourselves and were offered coffee/tea and medialunas. The journey there was simply magnificent, and so were the views from the estancia. Our room was gorgeous with beautiful authentic decor and a spacious, elegant bathroom. We loved in particular the attention to simplicity and sustainability. We took part in three activities: two hikes and one horseback ride. All of them were very well organised and with professional and friendly staff who were very knowledgeable about the area and its history. It was an amazing experience and we couldn't recommend it enough.
