When you travel, the more that you discover, the more you discover that there's even more to discover. So true for an absolute gem like Estancia Cristina. It was like floating through a fairy tale landscape of snow capped mountains, dreamy blue rivers and lakes, and stupendous views from lookouts. The staff were exceptional and did everything possible to enhance our stay. The food was delightful and the activities were varied and such a joy to engage in! So much to do!! It was pure magic. Thank you to all who made our stay such a fantasy come true!!

This property surpassed all my expectations. We went horse back riding and did two very different hikes with amazing views of the glaciers. We ended up with a private tracking tour with Sergio and he was excellent. The food was excellent.
