cerro frias

A fabulous hike, guanacos, foxes, hares, condors, and the Patagonian wind to blow us right off the peak.

We took the 4x4 drive on the mountain Cerro Frias. It was a very nice experience with magnificent views and we saw a lot of guanacos.

Great place to ride horses up the mountains. We really enjoyed ourselves. Nice drink after too. Go here for some good times

Our family did the zip line and it was so much fun! Originally we were scheduled for the 4x4 but the zip line was available and they allowed us to change at the last minute. It was so great and Anna was great with our kids, making them feel comfortable and excited. It was an awesome time! Lunch afterward was also amazing. Sooo much food!We would definitely recommend!

We were offered two different horseback riding excursions from our tour company when we arrived and we are sure happy we choose the half day ride at Cerro Frias.The company came to pick us up at the hotel and brought us to the ranch about 15 minutes west of Calafate. The driver was super nice and informed. When we got to the ranch we were met by Julia, smiling, welcoming us. The ranch is in a valley that opens up to Lago Argentino with basically not a soul in sight except for those on the ranch. Horses, dogs, and open open vistas.After a short welcome, we saddled up. Our guide was incredibly friendly and an obvious master horsewoman. She choose great mounts for us and our small group of four went off into the wild. She let us trot a bit once she saw we knew how to ride, which is a bit rare when you take a horseback tour. We saw eagles, condors, rabbits, horses, cows, and enjoyed every minute.And the views. My goodness, the views.... We rode for about an hour and a half taking a loop up a mountain and back down. Our guide explained about the fauna and flora and was a delight to talk with. She took pictures of us on the horses and spoke at least four languages. Wow.Totally recommended.

Recently had a group event here. Zip line, horseback riding, 4x4 tour, great meal, wine and service. We all loved it. Great friendly service and staff. I recommend it especially for groups.

I chose the horseback riding excursion for the authentic gaucho experience. Our group was only 3 people which enabled our guide Gabriel to be very attentive and take a lot of photographs us. Horses were well behaved, we rode for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours and enjoyed the mountain views. The Estancia itself was very nice and relaxing. Enjoyed a delicious homemade apple cake when we were done ($20 or $30 pesos). Overall good vale and a great half day activity.

I did the horse riding tour and the next day I booked the ZIP line tour, but the weather wasn't that good at this time (rain) so it was canceled for safety reasons and I die the 4x4 Tour instead with fantastic views from the mountain on the lake Argentino. At the end the weather turned and Tito, the manager arranged for me the ZIP line in a short version, that's what I unterstand unser customer satasfaction. The Team in the snackbar are helpful and the cake portions are big ;)

We did the 4x4 after doing Big Ice the day before and were looking for something to fill the day. It was possibly our favorite day. The hosts were great and took us to a working farm. They cooked us lunch while we were able to take pictures, relax and zip-line. HIGHLY recommend!

We took the half day to cerro frias, the 4by 4 ride was ok and exiting but when we arrived to have la merienda, we were surprised we had it in a hut , we were freezing and cuddle all around a make shift chimney- stove . The hut was open ,with no doors and a tin roof. We stayed there for more than an hour until people began to complain of being cold. Absolutely no bathrooms.The merienda was a piece of fried dough the size of a small napkin , just one per person and half a chocolate drink in a plastic cup.

Our first option for a kayaking tour was booked, so we chose horseback riding with Cerro Frias as an alternative half day activity. Overall was a relaxing and beautiful day activity - the ranch from where we started the ride was super cute with some delicious food! The horseback ride itself was pleasant - more scenic than anything as the horses essentially were taught to follow each other in line. Not much in the way of 'riding' per say…but an easy trot up and down the mountain, made for some fun pics! Would recommend for a low key activity!

This is a great option if you have half a day and are looking for an activity to do in El Calafate. We choose the zip-lining and it was really fun as you would expect. And both guides were very nice! Views of the mountains and Lago Argentino are fascinating and it is a very peaceful place to be at. Plus, the price was relatively affordable compared to other excursions.

You cross the mountains several times through a zipline it was scary and exciting! The guide was fantastic and really funny. Amazing view and fun for everyone who enjoys adrenaline!

I had an early evening flight out El Calafate, so I wanted to find a great way to spend my last morning/afternoon in town. The zip line at Cerro Frias was perfect! It was my first time zip-lining (and I don't love heights), but the guides were fabulous and helped calm any nervousness in the group. After two days of mini-trekking and glacier exploration, this was the perfect way to cap off our visit to Patagonia. The people at Cerro Frias were professional and fun, which made it a truly memorable experience.

A shuttle will pick you up at your hotel.The views of Lago Argentina and wildlife Cerro Frias are vrry good.I would recommend to a friend, & the price was very reasonable.
