TRADITIONAL, COLONIAL-BUILT ARGENTINE ESTANCIA
Walk through the wrought iron gateway to Patios de Cafayate and you will be confronted with a superb example of a traditional, colonial-built Argentine estancia. You’ll find a charming, colonnaded courtyard with a floodlit central fountain, shaded by fruit trees. Inside the décor is traditional and elegant, matching the period of the estate – established in 1740 – perfectly.
Stroll through the spectacular gardens of the estancia and you’ll find yourself surrounded by acres of dense green grapevines. As well as being a wonderful resort and spa, Patios de Cafayete is a renowned vineyard with a history stretching back to the 1870s. And beyond the vines lies the astounding scenery of the Calchaquies Valleys. Expect red, wind-carved boulders the size of hotels and endless, panoramic vistas.

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.
The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
