Estancia Huechahue :
Patagonia
- sleeps up to 16
- 8 bedrooms
OVERVIEW
Huechahue is just a wonderful place to experience true Estancia life. Warm hospitality, homely convivial atmosphere and, of course endless superb riding over the 15,000 acres of Patagonian Steppe, traversing mountains, exploring canyons and meandering through forests. Jane Williams has been hosting guests at Huechahue since 1990 and has created a wonderful environment for riding enthusiasts of all abilities. The riding is either based at the estancia or there are opportunities to take part in the cattle drives at the start or end of the season taking the cattle from Spring to Summer pasture and vice versa, long but rewarding days across the Patagonian steppe covered in dust and 9 hours in the saddle but thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyable and more so due to fellow riders and sense of camaraderie and wonderful, solid courteous sure footed horses and very comfortable western saddles with sheep skin covers! Accommodation is in three bungalows in the gardens with each having 3 twin/double en-suite rooms with a communal lounge in the centre with sofas, chairs and fireplace.

FAMILY DETAILS
It’s mainly all about the riding at Huechahue so if your family is pony mad then this is the place for you!
Jane Williams (the English owner and host) arranges group stays offering varied levels and challenges of riding.
Depending on ability families can either join an existing group or Jane can tailor a trip just for a family but be aware to get your request in quick as Jane’s estancia is very popular with many returning year after year.
If you’re not that bothered about riding but just hanging out in Patagonia in a very easy going English influenced family homestead then Huechahue is just the job. Children of all ages are welcome and if available you can take one of the cabins just for yourselves with your own lounge with a fireplace between the en-suite bedrooms.
There’s plenty of safe space for the little ones to run around, paddle in the crystal clear steam, gentle introductory rides, trekking, rafting and fishing.
It’s the perfect place for families to kick back after traveling or for a country fix after being in the city.
