A guest room at Estancia Ranquilco in Patagonia, Argentina
Argentina's rugged Patagonia region boasts one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. Spread over 100,000 acres in the foothills of the Andes, Estancia Ranquilco introduces travelers to the steppes, valleys, meadows and cliffs of this unforgettable area. Bordering Chile, the ranch offers a remote escape where guests can discover the magic of traditional gaucho culture, as well as participate in a variety of sustainability projects, such as beekeeping and leather working. From riding the range to undertaking a mountain pack trip, every activity is an immersion in the great outdoors. For experienced horseback riders, mountain volunteer programs include horse roundups, cattle drives and pony express duties. Days spent riding, hiking in search of condors or fly-fishing on the Trocoman River are followed by home-style Patagonian meals paired with fine Argentinean wines.
