Dedicated to cattle production with a Hereford farm and many remains of great times for ovine production, this place is ideal to immerse in the lifestyle of an authentic Patagonian ranch.

Expérience incroyable entre copines! On a adoré, les guides et résidents sont extrêmement gentils et attentifs, amicaux et chaleureux. On a pu avoir pleins d'informations sur la faune et la flore de la part de résidents passionnés, même un petit musée sur l'histoire du ranch ! On a pu voir la tonte d'un mouton de leur exploitation fait à l'ancienne, traire une vache à la main, et une superbe balade à cheval pour s'en mettre plein les yeux ! On a vécu un super moment que je recommande beaucoup dans ce petit coin de paradis simple et calme ! Merci beaucoup ????
