Just to be clear, we did not stay here, we only went as a day trip. However, what a day trip, this was one of the highlights of our stay in El Calafate, second only to the Big Ice trek on Perito Moreno. Part of me hesitates to give such a glowing recommendation because this is such a special place,... More

This estancia was commended as a good original country experience. The price - value ratio is the lowest on the whole area (350 pesos for an average meal + 90 pesos for the transport) You need to add extra money for a 50 mins horse ride (+100 pesos). The only enjoyable thing you can do with your family but the... More

Nibepo Aike is a glorious experience IF you can handle a few inconveniences. It's quite a drive to get there on some unpaved roads and the generator electricity is sometimes off for certain periods of the day. BUT..it is so well worth it to experience real ranch life, to watch the gauchos herding the animals, milking the cows, shearing the... More

This is a long way to go but the estancia is in a very beautiful setting and worth the journey. The guides were helpful and knowledgeble and the lunch excellent. Riding is worthwhile as you are at peace with nature and can see the wildlife close up, with Perito Moreno glacier just beyond.

We spent two nights and three days at Nibepo Aike after spending a few days sightseeing in Buenos AIres. We enjoyed a number of great hikes and had a chance to do two long horseback rides. The estancia is a beautiful property with indescribable views in every direction. All of the meals at the estancia are homemade from ingredients grown... More

We stayed at Nibepo Aike at stage 2 of our Argentina holiday, after 4 days in Buenos Aires. As is so often the case, the body had arrived but the soul was still somewhere halfway between UK and Argentina. In Nibepo Aike the soul and body joined up again. A wonderfully beautiful place, well situated with lots of opportunities to... More

We went to Nibepo for a half day countryside activity. It was amazing. The location and the service is great. Good food, interesting activities and unforgettable views. We loved it!

We went here after hiking at Torres del Paines and it was the perfect two day break before heading to Buenos Aires. This is an actual working ranch but with nice accomodations for travelers set up in what looks like an old ranch house (I am sure it has been added on to). We spent one day going to the... More

My wife and I have become a bit addicted to the whole Argentina Estancia thing and have now been to 6 estancias all over the country and I'd put Nibepo Aike in the top 2. We are keen horseriders and travelled with my mother and a couple of friends who are also very experienced riders. The horesriding was great, they... More

We stayed one night, and paid extra for 2 full days activities in Nibepo Aike in December 09. The location is nice, however, the quality of service and activities offered is very poor and unprofessional.Very expensive for what is offered. It is a "working ranch", but we saw limited gaucho activities, the focus is more on tourism. Actually, it is... More
