We will ride along the east side of Estancia Cristina’s valley over loose rocky terrain that was once the path used by pioneers to reach other hidden spots in the endless valley. We will arrive at a fantastic waterfall of glacial melt water, from where we can see Laguna Pearson, the confluent glaciers, and Estancia’s main lodge.

On this ride, we will head north into the deepest area of Río Caterina’s valley, an untouched glacial landscape. Lagoons, mountains, and Cerro Norte will appear along our 2-hour journey to Lago Pearson, where we will find a shelter strategically located on its shores, blending in with the native vegetation.

We will meet at the Monturero to head northwest, riding through forests of ñires and lengas and becoming familiar with the typical vegetation of the Patagonian steppe. At our first stop, we will be able to see the valley from Lago Argentino to Lago Pearson. We’ll keep ascending, passing Cascada de Los Perros and continuing on to Mirador Cristina, where we will have a panoramic view of the surrounding hills, the Campo de Hielo Patagónico Sur, and Glaciar Upsala. From here, we will hike to Lago Tanhausser, following the trail eastward. We make our way through the high vegetation and across the high Andean meadow over Cerro Cuchillo’s slopes, to be greeted by a dramatic scene of Río Caterina’s valley and the mountains embracing its amplitude. As a last delight, and after surpassing a rock edge that even glaciers couldn’t erode, we will see Lago Tanhausser and the glaciers descending from the hills of Cerro Pintado, Sombrero, and Masters into the lake. Finally, we return to the Cristina lookout point to mount our horses and ride back to the Estancia.
