With
many miles of trails, several rivers, lakes and mountain valleys
on the ranch, this lodge provides the rare opportunity for diverse
horseback riding in one gorgeous private location.
Estancia Casa Verde is a place
of spectacular beauty offering an immersion in the enormity of
Patagonia with miles of secluded valleys, several lakes, and two
mountain ranges within the ranch.
The variety of environments
offers the possibility to ride in several different situations;
Mountain & lower valleys, meadows, forests and open pampas.
These environments provide the opportunity to observe and enjoy
a variety of flora and fauna in its natural habitat; the Magellanig
woodpecker, the Andean Condor and the Chilean flamingo are just
a few examples among a 100 plus species of birds that have been
identified inside the ranch. The forests are comprised of Native
Lengas found mainly high in the mountains and Ñirre in
the lower valleys among a variety of shrubbery which includes
Bamboo and wild Fuchsia.
Our daily trips allow you to
explore pristine areas of the large estancia and enjoy the comfort
of the
lodge. The terrain largely dictates the pace and the distance
we need to travel on a certain day but
where possible there is a lot of trotting and cantering specially
during the longer rides. The terrain at the Estancia are varied
with two mayor mountain ranges to the North and South of the lodge
allowing day trips in to remote valleys and lakes, some above
timberline.
The use of horses is one of the
main means of transportation in the area, thus there are trails
to most areas of interest within the ranch. We will plan our daily
rides the day before and they are tailored
to the experience of the rider.
Riders are accompanied by an
experienced guide. In the event that other guests would like to
ride we will pair the riding parties according to experience and
interests . Experienced riders will be able to go at a faster
pace always escorted by our guide. As to the lengths of the rides,
these can be from one or two hours or daily rides of up to 6 hours
with additional one or two hours rest and several stops.
Visiting this corner of Patagonia
is like traveling back in time. Most of its inhabitants live from
the land raising cattle or sheep. In this remote area, helping
your neighbor is a way of life. Here the concept of time and distance
are unique. Eight hours on horse back along ancient trails is
nothing if it's how long it takes to visit your nearest neighbor.
