We loved this tour on one of the ranches behind El Calafate. Marcello and Ruan were terrific. We drove up a cliff and the views were spectacular over the city, lake and mountains. We spent a lot of extra time up there watching a group of condors up close as they flew around where we were. You cannot plan for this but it's something we will remember for a long time. Afterwards there was an excellent lunch, which was included in the tour, and which included a couple of bottles of Malbec and were then dropped off at our hotel.

we had some extra time before our flight and booked at the last minute - well worth it! we did the ziplining option and it was incredible. the staff were so friendly and helpful. the wind was a bit strong which made us nervous, but once we got going it was no problem. highly recommend, even for those faint at heart. the lunch at the end was hearty and delicious, too. would definitely do again

The ride to the top of the mountain was worth the view. It was a bit bumpy but that made it fun. It was very windy at the top of the mountain but we were able to get great photos. Our guide Augustus was friendly and fun. He also was a great waiter. The dinner was delicious and there was lots of food . The atmosphere in the ranch house was warm and cozy.

The views on the way up were amazing. The zipline was exciting, fun and safe. We enjoyed lunch and wine at the ranch. Best of all, our guide Nahuel did a great job. He was pleasant, explained everything well and made sure we were safe.

Awesome to see Lago Argentino, El Calafate, and the Andes Mountains from up above. The operator responds promptly to messages. They sent us a WhatsApp message the day before our tour to confirm pick-up time and place. The drive up was scenic. We chose to do the zipline. It was incredible. The views were magnificent. Staff did a great job. We had fun and felt safe. Our equipment was in good condition. The stations/lines were well maintained. We ended the tour with a delicious lunch at the ranch. This is a tour worth doing.

Great experience. The zip line was awesome. Nicoli and his crew did a great job. Nicoli made us feel comfortable even though we were the only English speaking people on the bus. His information was very informative. The lunch was great, I would recommend and we would definitely do it again. Thanks for the experience.
