Estancia Cancha Carrera.


In Patagonia it remains a tradition to provide hospitality to weary travellers. At this estancia, they were particularly hospitable.

We enjoyed sharing mate and a dinner of steak and lamb asado. They then took us to a room with a wheelbarrow of leña (wood) to keep us warm. We were woken at 8am, informing us breakfast was served!

Note our clothes hanging out to dry after our earlier soaking.


Sarah and our generous host.
