Log Off. Ride Out. Reconnect.

“Oh Ranquilco . . . words cannot describe the tranquility and transcendence of this place” - Vanessa L., TripAdvisor
Six nights at Ranquilco without the noise. No cell service, no Wi-Fi, no screens — the lodge is off the grid to begin with, and for this retreat we take it a step further. A chance to slow down, pay attention, and remember what it feels like to be fully present.
The week is full but unhurried. Ride horses across open valleys and river canyons, work with the guides on horsemanship in and out of the corral, harvest from the garden and cook a meal from what you pick. Soak in the wood-fired sauna on the riverbank and jump into the river.
Midweek, saddle the horses and pack the mules for an overnight trip to the Confluencia — a secluded valley where two rivers meet. Swim in deep pools or cast a line where trout hold in the current. Cook dinner over the fire and sleep under a sky with no light pollution.

Q: Who is the retreat for?
A: This experience is for anyone ready to step away from screens and reconnect—with themselves, with nature, and with a slower, more grounded way of life—all while enjoying a true Patagonian adventure.
Q: How many participants will there be?
A: Group size will be limited to 8-10 guests.
Q: What if my family needs to contact me?
A: While our main lodge will be fully offline during the retreat, Ranquilco is equipped with high-speed satellite internet. A connection point will remain active at the private residence of ranch owner T.A. Carrithers. In the event of an emergency, family members are welcome to reach out to him directly by email or phone, and he will relay the message promptly.
Q: Can I use my phone as a camera?
A: To help you fully unplug, we recommend bringing a standalone camera if you’d like to capture moments from your time here. That said, if you prefer to use your phone for photos, that’s perfectly fine—there’s no cell service at Ranquilco, and lodge Wi-Fi will be turned off for the duration of the retreat.
