Lodge Stays &

Accommodations

For those who crave nature without sacrificing comfort, lodge stays at Estancia Ranquilco offer the perfect balance of wild and welcoming. Nestled high above a river canyon, our hand-built, off-grid lodge invites you to slow down and settle in. Spend your days riding horses through open valleys, fishing in crystal-clear waters, or exploring the terraced gardens. Spend your evenings gathered around a long table for fresh, homegrown meals and stories shared by firelight. With private rooms, farm-to-table cuisine, a riverside sauna, and the deep peace that only true remoteness can bring, a lodge stay is more than a getaway—it’s a return to what matters.

  • We host guests during the South American summer months - from December 15 to March 31. December is early summer - lush and green with generally cool days, and beginning to get hotter around Christmas. January and February are the middle of summer - the days stretch out and are typically quite warm. Temperatures begin to cool in March, with days becoming quite crisp toward the end of the month and leaves beginning to change colors. Shoulder season visits in November and April can occasionally be arranged. During the winter months of June - September, the lodge is largely inaccessible due to snowy passes and high rivers.

  • “We stayed in the Castle Room which is a beautifully handmade cottage with huge french doors, open all the time in this bugless place, looking out from the edge of a cliff into a massive canyon with sounds of the Trocoman River lulling you to sleep."

  • “The Estancia’s main compound is best described as 'rustic elegance' — just rustic enough to make you feel like you’ve stepped back a couple of centuries to a simpler and less hectic time, yet, at the same time, very elegant and comfortable."
