Camping

There are many lovely spots near the main houses and further away. We have tents and tarps as well as a lot of extra sheepskins which are great to sleep on. However you will need to bring your own sleeping bag.


Additional Amenities

Swimming & Sauna
Swimming is great in the pool or at the river, where you can even swim with your horse. The riverside sauna is great at the end of a long day on horseback.

Volleyball court, mini gym, running track, polo field. Gather around the campfire; someone usually has a guitar!
 

January-February Summer Climate    
January is the height of summer. As long as the weather has been kind there will be fresh veggies from the garden, and the cherries will be at their ripest with wild plums coming on towards the end of the Immersion. Daytime temperatures may briefly reach 90 degrees, but it is a delicious dry heat and the evenings are always cool. There are no mosquitoes or poisonous snakes.


Fresh Food
Fresh food, fruits and meat are provided from the land, for example the "chivito asado" which is our famous specialty, cooked in traditional gaucho style over a 3-hour open fire. Our hostess and cook will take good care of you!
