For a truly authentic Patagonian adventure a stay on an estancia is not to be missed.
The Estancia's buildings are of typical Patagonian construction with gabled roofs and rustic-style furniture, restored and refurbished to make a cosy country guest house. You will receive a warm and open welcome from the staff, and feel truly cared for during your stay.
You are guaranteed to get an authentic understanding of the Gaucho life, the original characteristics remain in tact and daily rural tasks are carried out by the current owners from sheep shearing to cattle branding. Where possible the food is prepared from the estancia's own produce, including fresh bread and milk served every morning for breakfast.
