Lodge Stays &

Accommodations

For those seeking an off-the-beaten path adventure without compromising comfort, a lodge stay at Estancia Ranquilco is the ideal retreat. Perched high above a river canyon, our artfully crafted off-grid lodge invites you to unwind and explore. A lodge stay includes unlimited horseback riding and lessons as desired, access to a private stretch of river, and three farm-to-table meals a day. Depending on your chosen ride length, you might enjoy a scenic picnic or return to the lodge for lunch. If you prefer a day off from riding, there are endless ways to take in the surroundings—swim, fish, walk, join in a ranch activity, or simply relax with a good book, a glass of wine, and the soothing sound of the river below. The lodge features private rooms, a wood-fired riverside sauna, lush gardens and orchards, and breathtaking views, all accompanied by exceptional, personalized service to make your stay truly unforgettable.

  • 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."
