Open: October till April
Estancia 25 de Mayo has 17,000 hectares of countryside, and its old hull is located just steps from the center of El Calafate, an ideal place where you can rest and enjoy the scenery at the foot of Cerro Calafate, breathing the purest Patagonian air. A proposal to discover the rural side of the destination, in one of its great pioneer stays.
