Unbelievable place! It is a must! Do not miss it (horse riding is a once in a lifetime)! You can find @ EC great food/wines and very well trained personell as well. Rooms are spacious with remarkable views. Lucas is the best with his horses and a very nice person! Special thanks to Javier. It is worth every penny...

Great visit ….. EXCEPT the”walk” to see Upsala glacier was demanding for people in our 80s - as we are. It was full of stones and had an uphill demand. My husband fell down at the end and hurt himself quite a bit. We were lucky it wasn’t worse . I don’t recommend doing that walk if you are not up to 25 minutes over rocks going uphill

Estancia Cristina has a unique position in the Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. A luxury stay in the middle of nowhere. Not cheap, but you pay for what you get: pickup at your hotel of origen, boat trip with a VIP deck for people staying at the lodge. A warm welcome by the team and a superb 3-course lunch to start with. Food quality: excellent. The rooms are spacious and modern. All rooms are connected to sattelite WiFi these days (no cellular signal during your stay). The guides to the excursions are skilled and friendly - obviously don’t miss the Cañadón de los Fósiles trip with the Uppsala glacier lookout point. All-in-all a great experience.

This place is one of those movies you see and always wanted to go. There is a history, there is a place, there is a service, and there will always be a memory with you linked to this place! This trip begins with an impeccable "Catamaran" ship. The boat is super clean and the serve a nice coffee or tea. The trip is about 1.5 hour, but before you land at the Estancia, they take you to see the Upsala Glaciar. Magnifique! Beautiul! The sailing continues to the farm with a great history (i won´t tell you here), and once at the Estancia, they serve you a great lunch with "Argentinian Cordeiro" (lamp) and wines......some rest, and the activity you choose will begin! Please go see this place. It´s like a movie!

We have had a beautiful time at Estancia Cristina. This is definitely the highlight of our trip to Argentina. The hospitality and care for the guests is tremendous. The meals are world class dining, the activities (hikes (guided and self guided) and horseback riding) are fantastic and the rooms and common areas are so relaxing and welcoming. The staff care for the history of the inn and the ecology of the National Park. We cannot imagine that there is any room for improvement. If we could rate this experience 10 out of 5, we would!
