I had an authentic experience at one of Patagonia’s most traditional ranches. I learned about the history of the pioneering family that has managed it since its founding and gained firsthand insight into the customs and traditions of the Patagonian countryside, all within the stunning natural setting of Los Glaciares National Park.

During the visit, you’ll tour the ranch’s historic quarter, witness demonstrations of traditional rural tasks—such as herding sheep, milking, shearing, and reinsmanship—and admire the skill of the Patagonian gauchos.

The experience is rounded out with a hike or horseback ride to La Angostura, the point where Lake Roca and Lake Argentino meet, offering unique landscapes and an unparalleled connection with nature.

As the grand finale, you’ll enjoy a traditional Patagonian lamb barbecue, accompanied by salads, dessert, and a drink.

The excursion includes

• A welcome reception with hot beverages, fried pastries, and homemade puddings.

• Tour of the ranch’s historic district.

• Sheep milking and herding.

• Shearing demonstration and reins test.

• Hike or horseback ride to La Angostura.

• Lunch featuring Patagonian lamb barbecue, salads, dessert, and a beverage.

This experience is ideal for those who want to discover the essence of Patagonia through its history, culture, and rural traditions, set against one of the region’s most iconic landscapes.
