If ever there is a "Shangri La" in existence today, it could be hidden, deep in the Argentine Patagonia cordillera, where condors and eagles fly high over pristine river valleys and mountain peaks untouched by humans. At the lands of Ranquilco, there reigns a pure natural energy, which speaks of uncomplicated yesteryear and nurtures memories, and then yearning, of peace and joy.

"Ranquilco"
by George Miciu

Ranquilco is a vast expanse of land in the Argentine Patagonia, stretching across leagues of high steppe land, river valleys, meadows, and jagged cliffs into the very heart of the Andes, and finally terminating at the border with Chile.
It is a gigantic land, filled with little miracles of nature: condors, guanaco, eagle, lakes, hot springs, lion of the mountain, hares, quails, and light-driven rainbows disguised as huge trout which swim and swarm in the many, many miles of crystal clear rivers and streams which underline the valley scapes with the vibrancy of life. Fly fishing at Ranquilco is truly a world-class experience -impossible to duplicate in other rivers.


Very few ever get to the heart of these lands, and when they do, it is usually on horseback, as it lies beyond all roads. There is a track into the place and even an airstrip, but most come on horseback as befits a graceful arrival into the deep peace which resounds at Ranquilco. There are no phones, no televisions, and even the electricity which is generated by falling water, sometimes releases the participants to the gentler, kinder glow of candle and fire light. Along with the miles of private water, and the leagues of unfenced and wild riding, Ranquilco has a swimming pool, squash court, volleyball court, mini gym, running track, polo field and a river side log sauna.


Ranquilco is a place out of time, where near forgotten dreams of yesteryear are re-kindled and then see light. You come to Ranquilco for the world best fly fishing, the unlimited and unfenced riding, the chance to re-create yourself, but you return for the magic.

And now Ranquilco offers CATHARSIS - a 5 month course for people who want to immerse themselves in Deep Nature to upgrade their relationship with the Earth, and with themselves to better Enjoy the Creation - Survival in Style.
