We did the 1 day cruise to the Estancia and it was just what we needed after the Big Ice tour the day before, and a long night. The cruise was beautiful, past amazing icebergs, and on stunning lake. The estancia was set in a beautiful valley, and the lunch was just incredible. It seemed the wine never stopped flowing,... more

I agree with previous reviewers that it pays to spend a night at Cristina. We went horse-riding on the first afternoon and trekking the following morning. Both were stunning and guides were very good. Very tasty packed lunch provided although the dinners were disappointing and my meal had to be returned to the kitchen as it was served cold and... more

There is only one word to describe the "Estancia Cristina Experience": Magnificent... Our three-day, two night stay execeeded by far our expectations. The location is simply amazing. Be prepared to experience pure nature and only a handful of people sharing this majestic place. This is, what you pay for... worth every cent and penny. Amazing trips, hikes and activities, wonderful... more

Is Estancia Cristina the most perfect place in the world? Very possibly. The experience of absolute remoteness from the rest of the world is magical. The views are astonishing, the food and wine delicious, especially lunch and dinner, the rooms are beautifully comfortable. Breakfast is simple, which leaves plenty of space for the amazing lunches. Lots of quiet corners to... more

I was not entirely convinced I wanted to go to this Estancia due to the cost but I was so glad my boyfriend made us go. This place is magical. We decided to stay overnight which I strongly recommend. I would have been so disappointed to have just stayed for the day. The horseback riding and hiking are topnotch. The... more

We had some problems with our lugagges on the boat. They were oustide and were completly wet. The staff was arrogant and not very useful to treat the problem far from a top luxury hotel that the price seems to indicate. Otherwise it is very nice but for this amount of money I believe there is better places in the... more

We stayed here for three nights this February as part of a small group tour and had an amazing time - walks, bird-watching, horse-riding, glacier-viewing, fossil-spotting plus generous food and drink. Very comfortable spacious bungalow rooms with wonderful views up the valley. The boat trip to get here is spectacular in itself (viewing the Uppsala Galcier from the lake) but... more

Our rooms and baths were modern and pleasant. The food was good. The staff freindly. But what was magical was the experience of remoteness. We hiked up an old research road to a magical view of lakes and glaciers, and down through a canyon with fossils and fresh puma tracks, We rode with our excellent gaucho Augustin through meadows, glacial... more

Estancia Cristina does not come very cheap for a day's trip, but if you can afford it, it is all really worth it. I must admit that it is not suitable for very young children. The catamaran to get there is absolutely wonderful as you will be navigating thru beautiful scenery, with icebergs, mountains filled with snow and even woods!... more
