Digital Detox retreat in the Andes
Log Off. Ride Out. Reconnect.
February 5-11, 2026
“Oh Ranquilco . . . words cannot describe the tranquility and transcendence of this place” - Vanessa L., TripAdvisor
Step off the grid into the wild heart of the Patagonian Andes for a six night immersive retreat at our remote, off-grid lodge. With no cell signal, Wi-Fi, or screens, this is a true digital detox - a chance to disconnect from the noise of modern life, rediscover the rhythms of the natural world, and reconnect with yourself and those around you.
Your stay is designed to be a deep reset punctuated by adventure . . . riding horses across open valleys and rugged ridgelines, practicing the art of horsemanship with skilled guides, warming your bones in the wood-fired sauna perched on the riverbank, then plunging into cool, clear waters just steps away. Join a garden harvest and take part in a hands-on cooking lesson in traditional Argentine cuisine. Learn the ancient skill of fire-building, and feel the steadying rhythm of a life lived close to the land.
Midweek, saddle the horses and pack the mules for an overnight trip to the Confluencia - a secluded valley where two rivers meet. At camp, swim in deep, crystalline pools or cast a line in the riffles where trout linger in the current. Cook dinner over the fire and fall asleep under a blanket of stars devoid of light pollution.
Completely off-grid yet warm, beautiful, and comfortable, Estancia Ranquilco’s lodge - and the vast wilderness that surrounds it - offers the perfect setting for such a retreat.
This is an invitation: to move more slowly, breathe more deeply, and return home rested, carrying a piece of Patagonia with you.
Rate: $3600USD

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.
