Estancia Ranquilco is a family-owned 100,000 acre working ranch and vacation destination nestled in the Andean foothills of Northern Patagonia. A refuge in deep nature, guests from across the globe come to experience miles of unfenced horseback riding, world class fly fishing, and an opportunity to deeply reset away from the modern world. The ranch is remote and vast, stretching across leagues of high steppe, river valleys, meadows, and jagged cliffs into the heart of the Argentine cordillera. It is a place where cultures meet – where guests interact not only with the Estancia family, but also with local Argentines and a diverse group of international staff. The atmosphere is warm, authentic, and personal, making every guest feel welcomed and cared for as if with family. Vacations at Ranquilco are a unique combination of adventure, culture, and tranquility, blending Argentine ranch tradition with breathtaking landscapes, unbeatable riding, farm-to-table cuisine, rustic charm, and attentive, fun hospitality.

Our eco-lodge is dedicated to minimizing our impact through practices in self-sufficiency. We grow much of our own food in our large organic garden and raise our own grass-fed meats. Our electricity is produced onsite by hydroturbines, hot water is generated by fire, and most of our transportation is via horse. Ranquilco is a living example of large-scale ranch-style homesteading.

The accommodations at Ranquilco are best described as rustic ranch elegance. They are handcrafted out of locally harvested stone and wood, and beautifully furnished with antiques. Each room is unique, spacious and has an ensuite bathroom. Perched above the Rio Trocoman, listen to the sounds of the river below as you drift off to sleep at night, and wake to gentle bird song.
