LOCATION
Once a separate estancia, recently absorbed by the adjacent Estancia Anita,
Hostería Alta Vista (RP 15 Km 33, is an outpost of the Braun dynasty
that dominated the wool industry of Chilean and Argentine Patagonia. As
such, its seven-room casco, which includes one luxury suite, is the place
to be spoiled; surrounded by luxuriant gardens in a sheltered location
at the foot of 1,294-meter Cerro Freile, it has a first-rate bar/restaurant
open to guests only, a separate quincho for lamb asados, and flawless
service from its English-speaking staff. The all-inclusive package does
not include incidentals like telephone charges and laundry.
SERVICES
In addition to accommodations, Alta Vista offers excursions that include
horseback riding in the hills immediately behind the estancia, offering
a small lagoon full of wildfowl, condors soaring above, and distant views
of Glaciar Moreno. Nonguest may take tours of the estancia. It is arguably
the most upscale estancia in the vicinity of El Calafate-unlike Nibepo
Aike, it has been gentrified beyond rusticism. Near the entrance to Estancia
Anita stands a memorial to the "Patagonia Rebelde" strikers
of 1921-22; erected by the provincial Chamber of Deputies, it reads "If
the winners write history, that means there's another history: the Santa
Cruz strikers, their histories present in our memory."
