Estancia Patagonia

Relax and enjoy the peace and quiet wilderness of Argentine Patagonia, undoubtedly one of the best riding areas for the lovers of the adventure and the wild trips.

Our already famous program is “La Veranada”. Drive a thousand head of Angus cattle from the sheltered plains of the pre-cordillera Pampas to their summer pastures in the Andes of Patagonia. Take a soak in remote mountain streams where the hot springs emerge. Try freshly grilled mountain stream trout prepared the Patagonian way. Camp beside your horse and listen to the peaceful rhythm of his breathing and hear the night-time sounds of the herd at rest. At dawn join the gaucho energy, dust and thrill of easing the herd into the morning mist of a day on the trail.

Our Estancia in Patagonia, a 40.000 acre Ranch in Neuquén Province, has earned much deserved reputation as one of the best Estancias for anyone wishing to ride. It is situated in one of the most scenically beautiful parts of the Patagonia. The terrain is exceptionally varied with high mountains, steep rivers, cascades, and plains. Usually one can ride all day without seeing other human beings.

The estancia is located in the base of the mountains. With a wonderfully cozy atmosphere it offers a comfortable living room with its inviting fireplace as a centerpiece. Our Chef prepares local Argentinean cuisine tailored to the tastes of our guests. Venison and lamb, or fresh trout from our rivers, can be enjoyed with a glass of top Malbec Wine. In the morning enjoy homemade scons and fresh bread with a breath-taking view and good coffee. There are many experiences for the entire family you can enjoy at our Estancia.

Dates or lengths of stay can be arranged and we can tailor an experience to suit your request. During a week long stay it is possible to arrange a 3 day pack trip with 2 nights spent camping out. At this program, you will experience the best of an epic horse riding experience and the best of our gaucho and Tehuelche Indian culture on the same trip. Definitely, this will be an unforgettable experience
