100,000 Acres to explore

Hidden in the remote Andes mountains of Northern Patagonia, Estancia Ranquilco offers a rare kind of escape where wild landscapes meet rustic elegance. Guests arrive by horseback to an off-grid lodge perched above a river. Here days are spent riding through these unspoiled lands, feasting on farm-to-table meals, and connecting with an international community of people who live close to the land. Whether you're setting out on a multi-day pack trip or relaxing into the rhythms of lodge life, Ranquilco is more than a vacation, it is a chance to step away and immerse oneself into a simpler way of life.
