A historical Patagonian estancia right on the edge of Torres del Paine National Park, offering horse-riding and hiking tours

A rare chance to hike the majestic peaks of Torres del Paine by day, then stay at a pioneer Patagonian sheep farm at night. Just 30 minutes from the eastern entrance to the National Park at Laguna Amarga, Cerro Guido offers an array of activities – riding through sweeping steppe landscapes, minibus tours to Glacier Grey and Salto Chico – as well as an evocative insight into estancia life, with its annual sheep shearing and cattle round-ups.

It's perched in the most perfect position, gazing over the steppe to those iconic towers of mountain; and it still looks just as it did in the 1920’s. Simple, white-painted zinc houses sit above orchards and vegetable gardens, there’s lilac and honeysuckle growing by the door. The charming bedrooms and sitting rooms retain all the elegance of the original ranch, but have been modernised to add warmth and comfort. You’ll be welcomed by friendly young Paulina and Horacio with a pisco in the quincho dining room: a magical spot where you can watch the sun set over the Torres as you tuck into home-reared lamb or locally caught salmon.
