Full description

An exciting 4x4 adventure begins with a pick-up at your hotel in El Calafate. After a short 20-minute drive, you will arrive at the estancia, where you will begin the ascent to Cerro Frias. Enjoy a ride along winding trails that offer spectacular views of Lake Argentino and the vast Patagonian steppe.

At 450 meters above sea level, the first viewpoint will give you a unique panoramic view of the lake and its arms, while at the highest point you will enjoy 360-degree views, including Los Glaciares National Park, Cerro Fitz Roy and Torres del Paine.
