Estancia Peuma Hue

Even in urbane, sophisticated Argentina there’s no end of places to lose yourself. One minute you’re in the European-accented capital and the next you’re at the Estancia Peuma Hue, in the Lake District of Patagonia, facing out over Lake Gutiérrez and backed up against a dramatic mountain peak. This is gaucho country — you’re not far from San Carlos de Bariloche, even closer to the Mt. Cathedral ski resort, and yet still you’re remote enough to feel a bit of the romance of exploration.

The social life centers around the main lodge, but the accommodations all occupy outlying buildings; three houses are located on the grounds near the lodge, while the Mountain Cabin, the smallest and most private of the lot, is some distance up a wooded slope. Though not unattractive they’re hardly designer fare — these interiors are rustic through and through, with rough-hewn wood furniture, and a fireplace at the heart of every house.

Organic local cuisine is the order of the day, and you’ll need to fuel up — the estancia’s activities take full advantage of the rugged landscape, with everything from birdwatching on up to sailing, mountain trekking and climbing on a possible agenda. It’s luxe ecotourism meets high-end adventure travel, in a setting that’s second to none.

Please note: Estancia Peuma Hue is closed during the month of June.
