Estancia Ranquilco is a remote family-owned 100,000 acre horse and cattle ranch nestled in the foothills of the Andes. It is a vast expanse of land in Patagonia, stretching across leagues of high steppes, river valleys, grazing meadows, and jagged cliffs, into the very heart of the Argentine cordillera. Ranquilco’s western boundary is the border with Chile – the high country — graced with lakes, waterfalls, condors, hot springs, and weeks of wandering.

Join us for incredible horse back riding adventures, mountain trips into the Andes, and the best fly fishing. Experience the real Patagonia… its landscape, animals, and people.  Read on…
