Estancia Nibepo Aike (El Calafate)

Perched on the southern shore of Lago Argentino inside Los Glaciares National Park, Estancia Nibepo Aike operates as a working sheep ranch with 15,000 acres of Patagonian steppe and 60 employees managing 3,500 Corriedale sheep. Founded in 1920, it is the only estancia directly abutting the Perito Moreno Glacier trekking trail, offering private access points that shave 40 minutes off the standard park route.
