A HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE QUITE UNLIKE ANY OTHER
Estancia Huechahue has been hand-hewn from the rugged Patagonian wilderness by the Wood family of cattle ranchers. And transformed into a holiday experience quite unlike any other. Here you will come to understand that life really is an adventure, that nature is both wild and astonishingly beautiful, that a horse has a soul and that food tastes so much better when it is home-grown and cooked simply by people who know what they’re doing.
Make Estancia Huechahue a place to stay on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Argentine Patagonia and you will also come to understand the value of a soft, warm bed after a day’s riding. The importance of relaxing in a spa. The suppressed thrill of fly fishing. The sheer exhilaration of river rafting….

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
Jonny took the time to discuss all the options with us and tailored every detail to our wishes. He suggested thoughtful add-ons, arranged excellent guides, and created a brilliant itinerary packed with maps, tips, and all the information we needed for exploring the two countries we visited. An absolute trip of a lifetime to Argentina and Brazil.
