Tipiliuke Lodge is a very special place in the heart of northern Patagonia, surrounded by estancia Cerro de los Pinos, in the foothills of the Andes. Covering some 50,000 acres, this is a traditional working cattle ranch where you can ride out with the gauchos who watch over a vast herd of cattle. This is a place to absorb the gaucho culture and revel in traditional Patagonian hospitality enjoying activities tailor-made to your interests, authentic but stylish cuisine and of course attention to detail and personalized service. This takes you north of the Lakes District along the Seven Lakes route towards San Martin de los Andes and Lanin National Park in around 3 hours from Bariloche, a haven for nature and active adventure.

There are only a handful of beautifully furnished rooms, giving it an intimate feel, with plenty of outdoor areas to relax in and soak up the views or take a siesta after outdoor pursuits. The riding here is of course superb, accompanied by the gauchos who have been herding here for generations. As well as top class fly-fishing, other active adventures include hiking, birdwatching, mountain biking and river rafting. After all that, indulge in exceptional cuisine, fine wines and a sauna or massage.
