We were a group of 4 couples (one was single) and this portion of our trip to Argentina was everyone’s’ highlight! Accommodations were perfect and we all loved the maintained rustic feeling…The families adult children were our hosts and rotated during our stay…”
Paradise near MendozaComment posted on TripAdvisor
“… The mountain valley setting is splendid, high peaks, their ridges still streaked with snow, deep gorges and clear drinkable creeks. Wildlife abounds — deer, guanacos, eagles, condors, foxes, hares, even a few wild boars. As you would expect, the access to this mountain retreat is by 4wd road. So, what? Let the other fine hotels have their taxi stands and doormen, they can’t have this superlative location. Our four nights stay here was the highlight of our visit to Argentina.”

“This was the highlight of our trip to Argentina. Beautifully located in the Andes foothills at 2,400m., it is truly a unique experience. With superb hospitality, and generous and delicious catering we were made to feel like part of the family. Horse riding trips out were spectacular but comfortable and very safe. We fished successfully for brook trout, and within 2 hours the fish was on a plate…”
Wonderful, away from it all location; superb hospitalityComment posted on TripAdvisor
We spent three amazing nights over New Year this season at Rancho e Cuero with the wonderful members of the Palma family. We cannot put into adequate words the peace, fun, and hospitality we experienced at the estancia, a highlight at the end of an exciting trip to Patagonia. The family and gaucho guided horseback riding was outstanding with beautiful, well-cared for horses, exciting trails, magnificent scenery and wildlife every day…”

A very special experience in a spectacular locationComment posted on TripAdvisor
“… If you’re after great hiking, horse riding and food then this is the place for you. After trying more than my fair share of meat on the trip I can say the meat here was the best I had. The horses are beautifully trained and the mountains magnificent. Great hosting by the family and the highlight of our trip.”

Authentic Estancia ExperienceComment posted on TripAdvisor
“… While the cost is not nominal, it is well worth every penny to be assured that you are getting the best cuisine, bottomless wine, company, and experience. Based on our entire time in Argentina (11 days), we unanimously agree that this ranch experience was the absolute highlight. The typical travel anxiety of the unknown and unanticipated is completely removed and all that remains is the warm, accommodating, friendly, unique experience of spending memorable time in the middle of the Andes with an extraordinary group of people…”
Experience of a lifetimeComment posted on TripAdvisor

From the moment Juan and Clara met us to navigate the private winding road to their estancia to the end of the day when we said goodbye- tired, sore (3 hours on horseback) and happy) our experiences were a dream come true…”
