Accommodation
Glacier King
Our Glacier King Program, based out of the historic Estancia Cristina lodge, is embedded
amidst the most picturesque scenery that Andean Patagonia and Los Glaciares National Park
have to offer. We are exceptionally fortunate to have exclusive access to the sacred
headwaters of the mighty Caterina River.
This lodge offers luxury accommodation and service with a warm and rustic feel characteristic of the estancia's history. The cuisine is particularly exquisite. All dishes are crafted from traditional recipes, flavors, and locally-sourced products and are coupled with some of the finest wines from across Argentina.

The
Fish
King Salmon arrived to Southern Patagonia in the early 2000s.
In this lonely place of the Andes they have developed a numerous population that
grows every year due to the really low fishing pressure and not having many predators
above them.
Every year Chinook salmon move upriver from the Atlantic Ocean, thru the Santa Cruz
river and Argentino lake, to arrive to these pristine waters.
