Far from mass tourism and near El Calafate is Nibepo Aike Ranch, a place that stores the essence of old Patagonian ranches. Nibepo Aike covers 12,000 ha and it is delimitated by the south branch of the Argentinean Lake and the border of Chile marked by the Andes range.
Dedicated to cattle production with a Hereford farm and many remains of great times for ovine production, this place is ideal to immerse in the lifestyle of an authentic Patagonian ranch.
