We had an absolutely wonderful time at La Peninsula during the Full Day Estancia tour. We visited in mid April and the weather was fantastic. The hospitality of the staff, the views from the property were all top notch. The lamb was the best meat I have tasted my entire life.
Our multigenerational family group (ages 6 to 74) thoroughly enjoyed our visit and learned a lot about the Estancia culture in Patagonia. I highly recommend this day tour if you are staying in Puerto Natales.
It was one of the highlights of my trip to Chile, we had the best time! Alejandro our guide was a legend, he thought us so many things about Patagonia and the Estancia. Donald was also an icon, showing us how to handle and herd sheeps, it was super impressive. The food prepared by Carlos was also amazing, a real feast. I can only recommend this activity, it was a mental reset and a real joy for me and my whole family!
We had a fantastic experience! It was our first full day/outing on our 3 weeks long Patagonia trip and so far it's been the highlight and hard to beat. Alejandro is an amazing guide, we learned a lot about the history of the region and he always made sure our wine glasses were full :) we had never ridden a horse before but felt very at ease as the horses are tame and easy to ride. The views, food, and entire experience couldn't have been better - book this trip!!!
Our group of 4 really had a great day (I'm sure the good weather we had helped, too). The day was as described...
The boat ride was smooth, we arrived and had a light breakfast (pastries/coffee/tea) while enjoying the views before heading out to hike/horseback ride. We did the horseback riding and the length was good. I've done a few tourist trail rides like this one in the past and this was probably my favorite. Once back they served wine or beer and we watched the lamb being cooked on a spit being prepped for lunch (and getting to try it). Lunch was served and the food plentiful (and great). After lunch, we saw the sheepdog and steering demonstrations.
Overall, their hospitality was wonderful (very friendly, answering questions, offering seconds at lunch, etc.) and despite doing a lot that day, we never felt rushed and had some downtime between activities.
We spent 12 days in Patagonia including EcoCamp in TdP, Calafate, and El Chalten. Our favorite day trip was Estanchia Peninsula. Everything about this day trip is extremely well done. The lead guide was an absolute wealth of knowledge on the history, culture, and natural features of the region. The main building for meeting and dining is very comfortable, tastefully decorated, and renovated with 4 bathrooms, all immaculate. They treat you like royalty with a full meal of lamb barbecue, wonderful side dishes, and drinks. The horseback ride was stunning with the setting between the fjord and the mountains. The sheepdog demonstration was very entertaining and the sheep shearing and ranch life presentation very professional and interesting. I highly recommend anyone visiting or passing through Puerto Natales to visit Estancia Peninsula.
