Not to be missed! - The full day boat trip 8:30AM to 6:30PM booking direct with Estancia Cristina is a not to be missed experience! We were blessed with beautiful weather all day. Not crowded, very professional, excellent and professional on the water and on the estancia. The lunch is amazing! This is a must do if you want a first class experience! Highly recommend!

an excursion as close as possible to the natural wonders. - An excursion not to be missed after the Périto Moreno. Sailing to the Upsala glacier allows you to see large icebergs up close, the 4x4 safari in the forest to the panorama that dominates the glaciers is superb, not to mention the succulent estancia meal. We would like to thank in particular the guides who assisted my husband, with reduced mobility, throughout and, with their help, allowed him to access the panorama. Professionals particularly involved, with great empathy and concerned to satisfy the participants. Congratulations to them!

Spectacle of nature - Estancia Cristina is a simply spectacular place. Surrounded by unspoilt nature, it offers a sublime view of the majestic and unforgettable Upsala Glacier. The silence, the colors of the lake and the immensity of the ice create a panorama of rare beauty. An authentic and breathtaking experience, not to be missed in Patagonia. ⭐

Beautiful excursion to make - Beautiful excursion not to be missed on Lake Argentino and a 50-minute drive down a chaotic but worthwhile road to see the Upshala Glacier, and to finish a delicious meal at the estancia Christina

Such a great experience!... - Such a great experience! Boat ride to view the glacier from a distance but up real close to huge icebergs, quick tour of the Estancia Cristina museum, and an amazing lunch in a beautiful setting. Then the highlight, a 4x4 drive and little hike to the viewpoint overlooking Upsala Glacier. Friendly staff and incredible views. Recommended.

Visiting Estancia Cristina and the Mirador del Glaciar Upsala was an unforgettable experience. The boat ride through Lag - My Honest Review of Estancia Cristina & Mirador del Glaciar Upsala Visiting Estancia Cristina and the Upsala Glacier viewpoint was easily one of the best experiences I had in Patagonia. If you enjoy a mix of nature, history, and adventure, this is definitely worth your time. The journey itself is part of the experience. The boat ride across Lago Argentino was stunning, passing through floating icebergs and getting glimpses of the glacier from the water. The scenery feels untouched and raw — it’s hard not to just sit quietly and take it all in. Once at Estancia Cristina, the 4x4 drive up to the Mirador del Glaciar Upsala was bumpy but exciting. The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking — a vast landscape of ice, mountains, and valleys. It’s not just the glacier itself, but the whole panorama that makes it special. It feels remote and wild in the best possible way. At the estancia, I really enjoyed learning about the history of the pioneers who settled there. It adds depth to the visit, making you appreciate how challenging life must have been in such an isolated place. A few tips: Dress for wind, cold, and sudden weather changes. The terrain is rugged — this isn’t a luxury tour, it’s more for nature lovers and adventurers. Bring snacks; lunch is included but basic. Final Thoughts: If you’re in El Calafate and want to see more than just the typical Perito Moreno tour, this is a unique and memorable day trip. It combines incredible landscapes, a bit of history, and the adventure of getting off the beaten path. ⭐ Rating: 5/5 — Highly recommended for nature lovers and photographers.

Breathtaking Estancia Christina - Service was impeccable, food delicious, guides knowledgeable, and scenery unparalleled. We hiked to well above Upsala, viewed prehistoric fossils, enjoyed a lovely waterfall and retreated to lovely casitas,

Unforgettable tour. Gives the real idea of what a glacier is. I went in the fall to the color variation of the mountains maravi lhas - Very comfortable boat. The landscape, stunning. The lunch they serve (breakfast) besides tasty, satisfies a lot. Great explanation.

Very good time - Excursion to Lake Argentino with icebergs and glacier Upsala very well, qualitative meal, empanadas, aperitif, quality wine, lamb meat to fall and vegetables. Dessert and coffee. An improvement, maybe the quantity of lamb a little limited but the whole meal is qualitative and we are more hungry. The staff and guides to the glacier are kind and considerate

I was disappointed by the experience - We consulted the operator if you reached the viewpoint of the Uppsala Glacier before buying tickets and were told that in any state you arrive because the walk is short to the viewpoint. When we arrived at the departure point for the walk, the guide tells us that he finds it unsafe and we did not do it. Then we were kept waiting a long time for a barely normal lunch and a visit to a small museum. On the way in the navigation to the glacier Uppsala is seen from a long way away and nothing is appreciated. The ticket is each worth more than $250 and what is delivered in return is not worth it at all. They should at least recognize that if they don’t make it to the viewpoint, because they find it insecure, they should return part of the payment. I was disappointed by the experience.
