On day 7 you will be driven back to el Calafate airport for the direct flight to San Carlos de Bariloche, in the heart of the Argentine Lake District. On arrival you will be met and driven 3 hours north, along a scenic route towards the town of San Martin de los Andes.
Estancia Tipiliuke is located in the lower Chimehuín river valley, between the towns of San Martin de Los Andes and Junín de los Andes. A completely different setting and style of estancia to Los Potreros, Estancia Tipiliuke fuses the character of a traditional estancia, with the amenities and gourmet cuisine of a modern hotel. In the foothills of the Andes, surrounded by forest and world class trout fishing rivers, the next three days you will have the opportunity to fish, ride, hike and mountain bike in this pristine part of Argentina.
A huge variety of activities are possible from the estancia, including the nearby Chapelco golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus and one of the few courses in Patagonia. White-water rafting on the Chimehuín river can be organised, as well as visits to the nearby Lanín and Nahuel Huapi National Parks.
With just 9 rooms, service and activities at the estancia are incredibly personalised and for those who prefer to relax, they have a massage and yoga room, hot tub and wood burning sauna.
Evenings can be spent around the fireplace enjoying a glass of Malbec or learning how to tango in a private tango lesson. After a delicious dinner you can then retire to your room before tomorrow’s adventure awaits.
Stay: Three nights at Estancia Tipiliuke – full board
