Estancia Tercera with views of the Towers
An Estancia is a farm or ranch that raises either cattle or sheep. The entire area of Patagonia is essentially a number of estancias strung together between the Pacific ocean in the west and the Atlantic ocean in the east. In fact, the Torres del Paine National Park was an estancia before it became a National Park.

BlueGreen Adventures is very pleased to exclusively offer stays at Estancia Tercera Barranca.

We were the first company to offer estancia stays in this part of Chile with the introduction of our Estancia Ride. In fact, we are very proud to have been instrumental in the development of Estancia Tercera for tourism and are still the experts when it comes to this form of agritourism in the area.

Typical of the estancias of the area, Estancia Tercera (pictured above and right) is a working sheep ranch situated in an enviable position on the Park borders offering fantastic views of the granite Towers and mountains of the Paine Massif. With land extending to 6,454 hectares it now offers high quality accommodation close to Torres del Paine National Park in addition to its continuing work as a working Patagonian ranch.

This wonderful authentic estancia house is a great alternative to some of the mainstream Park hotels.

It is a perfect base from which to enjoy one of nature's finest adventure playgrounds a short distance away. Torres del Paine offers an abundance of activities including world class hiking, horse riding, fishing, photography, sightseeing, kayaking and boat rides.

Alternatively it is possible to just relax and explore the vicinity of the estancia or take part in traditional ranch activities such as horse riding or sheep wrangling.

There are three options for your stay here. Either book your required number of nights and corresponding meals and explore the area independently, join one of our fully inclusive stays for a minimum of 3 nights or book the entire house and enjoy a fully staffed personal house party Patagonia style.

Note there is no public transport to Estancia Tercera.

Accommodation

This rustic ranch with a friendly and cosy atmosphere sleeps just 14 guests in 7 pretty bedrooms in the casa patronal (main house). Accommodation consists of: 2 doubles; 3 twins each with private bathroom; 1 twin with shared bathroom and a Patagonian caravan suitable for a single person with private bathroom.

Outside there are buildings associated with the farm together with a traditional quincho where guests can enjoy a lamb asado where the meat is roasted on an open fire Patagonia style.  

Meals are taken in the attached dining room also with spectacular views of the Towers. Here 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 Chilean cooking. The estancia also stocks a selection of wine and beer and of course the local pisco sour drink.
