Cerro Frías “Horse Ride”

Frías Hill, proximate to El Calafate touristic village, is  distinctively not part of any mountain chain.

Located 23 km far from El Calafate and being part of Alice Ranch, Frías Hill is a great chance to see indigenous fauna and flora and 360 degrees of unforgettable images.

The tour begins with a bus service from the hotels in town until reaching “El Quincho”, meeting point where participants are divided in groups according to the previously selected activities.

Recently opened, “Quincho” Snack Bar offers fast food service. The morning departure offers an optional lunch menu that includes:

Starter: Pumpkin soup and lamb empanada

Main course: Roasted red meat and chicken with grilled vegetables (all cooked in clay oven)

Dessert: flan caramel with dulce de leche

Beverages and coffee: NOT INCLUDED

“Quincho” is open from 09:00 to 20:00 to the whole public, offering fast food and beverages.

NOTE: Vegetarian menu available if requested in advance.

The preferred activity must be selected at booking time. Once passengers arrive to the meeting point, it is not possible to change the activity, except in cases of force majeure.

ALTERNATIVES

Frías Hill offers different activities that are carried out simultaneously in separate circuits (4×4 – Horse ride – Zip line – Trekking), making it possible that nobody misses the opportunity to live an unforgettable experience in an astonishing natural environment. This dynamic allows that members of the same group do different activities, as all passengers return to a single meeting point before departing back to town.

HORSEBACK RIDING

The ride begins crossing a meadow to start ascending through the Southern slope. A few minutes later, the Centinela Valley and Torres del Paine can be appreciated. Moving uphill, getting 600mts high, it will be possible to see cattle and wild animals like guanacos, hares, foxes, armadillos and skunks. At this height, breath-taking views of the Argentino Lake, Torres del Paine, the Rico Canal and the valley of Anita Ranch will be the bonus track!
