staying overnight we get to do we're going to get to tour the property have an asado all those things so we booked this tour directly in el calafate santa cruz and they came to pick us up from our little cabin it was about an hour and a half's drive a gorgeous drive gorgeous gorgeous scenery oh my gosh yeah most of it most of it on a dirt road yeah and yeah we were just just like eye candy and you can book either a morning excursion or an afternoon excursion to the estancia we chose the afternoon so we're going to be having dinner here we get to watch the sunset then we're going to be meeting up with the guide and learning a little bit about sheep shearing which they do here on the farm my it is wendy welcome to patagonia argentina yeah apologies for any uh audio issues in advance

tour here in the countryside so warm drinks and a little snack a little tea to warm up it is windy outside cheers i'm having a red berry tea which is very very nice and then aside from that i grabbed a little bit of cake this has that sweet potato not jam but like the duns that we eat with cheese i don't know if there's a name for it in english then this is another cake what are those little black seeds called forgetting my english poppy seeds and then torta which is just a piece of fried dough it's really popular with coffee yeah it's warming up a bit it's a little windy it is very windy out and yeah we're doing this excursion with a big group so like different groups are arriving and we're all gathering together we're gonna have a guide so yeah we're just going to eat a little something warm up and then we continue we begin and we get started that's right you smell bad you smell like dirty horses he smelled like a country dog like a farm dog and now to give you a bit of background information on the estancia and how the seemingly odd name came to be this estancia was founded by santiago peso a croatian immigrant who arrived in argentina at the beginning of the 20th century he settled in an area which today sits inside los glaciatos national park where he raised sheep and cattle originally the estancia was named la jeronima but when santiago fell ill with tuberculosis and eventually passed away his wife renamed the estancia in honor of their three daughters their nicknames were Nibepo Aike and so by grabbing the first two letters from each name they got Nibepo Aike and then Nibepo Aike which means place in the tawelche language that's the name well so far we have seen a beautiful border collie the farm dog we've also seen lots of sheep with fluffy buns and now a hair so i think we're doing pretty good for wildlife spawning at Estancia and yes i'm including the cute dog as wildlife okay sam so we are standing in front of a very important bush a very special place well it's called the calafate which is what the town is known for it's called el calafate santa cruz named after the bush and there's green and blueberries okay you don't want to have the green ones you want to have the bluish ones apparently legend has that if you eat one of these you will come back to patagonia argentina yes so i'm going to have a whole bunch if you want to return to patagonia argentina you need to eat the berries of the calafate that's what we're doing now a must a must they're not ready yes too green too green oh my god already i think maybe it's not quite the season yet no it's mostly green well i still hate one for a few seconds you'll be returning then they're returning so now for a little behind the scenes we got put into a group with some real party animals who are carrying bottles of vodka in their backpacks and pan pockets so here's one of the men who insisted on posing for my camera i don't know if he was blowing kisses or trying not to throw up but now he's on youtube for the world to see now let's do that once more in slow motion yep there we have it hello hello update time for a much needed update what's going on we've been doing a lot we went down to the water beautiful turquoise waters that was stunning it's like milky like a milky light blue very very cool to see yeah yeah and then we went hiking for a bit yeah and i think next
