The house sleeps 14 guests.

The estancia staff will take great care of you.  Organic meat and produce, home baked breads and pastries, fresh jams and preserves made with fruit from the garden and lots of tasty an cooking.  The estancia also stocks a selection of reasonably priced wine and beer and pisco sours are a speciality. 

Traditional gaucho barbeques under the stars are arranged on a regular basis.

What to do:
If you want to sit back and enjoy your stay, with all the details taken care of, you should choose the all inclusive option. This will give you your own personal bilingual guide and vehicle to take full advantage of the area's numerous visual highlights and activities.

For riders, there are a huge choice of trails which can be enjoyed on one of the estancia's delightful Criollo horses. Riding will be in the company of a an baqueano and/or a BlueGreen guide.  You can ride to Laguna Amarga, Laguna Azul, Lago Paine, the Zamora Falls or another nearby estancia.  There is also a trail that will take you to an area frequented by herds of wild horses. With a bit of notice, we can arrange camping pack trips to Dickson Valley, La Cumbre and Las Chinas Valleys, Laguna Verde or out towards the Argentine border.

For non-riders, daily excursions into the Park for world class hiking, birdwatching, fishing, sightseeing, photography or even kayaking is all available.
