Our tour begins at 08:30 am with the pick-up from the central hotels in the city of El Calafate to head to the foot of the Andes Mountains and there, begin to climb the mountain road of Cerro Frías. This is located on the grounds of Estancia Alice, 23 kilometers from the city center and where we can observe local flora and fauna. We will do this with Land Rover Defender trucks, specially prepared and adapted to provide safety and comfort on the excursion.
As we ascend, we will get an incredible panoramic view of the area and, for example, we will observe the immensity of Lake Argentino. We will arrive at the first viewpoint, located 450 meters above sea level, from where we will see the Centinela River.
Our second stop is located at 1030 meters and allows us to view the Torres del Paine, Roca Lake, the Cadena de Cristales, the Canal de los Témpanos, the Rico Sur branches of Lake Argentino and the northern arm of the same lake. If we have a clear day, we will be able to see the Andes Mountains and Mount Fitz Roy.
Once we reach the highest part of the route, our descent from the native lenga forest will begin along the southern slope of the Mount until we reach the ranch`s barbecue area. In this space, we will have time to enjoy the facilities and relax as well as, they will give us our space to eat either the lunch, the snack or dinner depending on the chosen option.
Finally, after these hours, we will return to the city center and we will drop you off at your downtown hotel.
