Estancia Los Potreros

“This was an experience of a lifetime. Our whole family was in awe and in heaven.”

“My thing is to ride all over the world. No other horse has given me more pleasure than the Paso Peruano, Negro 11″

“Gracious hosts, wonderful food, perfect horses - a refuge and an adventure”

“There are many things we do in life and forget. There are few things we do, we enjoy and will remember forever - Los Potreros is one of the few. Fabulous.”

“Thank-you! So relaxing, like staying with friends. Fabulous week - a perfect place for a honeymoon and neither of us want to leave.”

“What exceptional views! We felt and were on top of the world. Thank you for an unforgettable experience and unique hospitality! We’ll back, thats for sure.”

 . . .Kevin is out catching fish!

Kevin and Lou snuck away for a few weeks in January, leaving the estancia in the very capable hands of Robin and Teleri. A long drive to Bariloche ended in a couple of weeks eating and drinking too much, whilst Kevin enjoyed some extremely successful fly-fishing. You should have seen the one that got away. And whilst Kevin was fishing? Well, Lou was riding of course . . .!

We are pleased to announce the completion of our new bread oven! These ovens, made of mud and bricks, are the traditional way in which rural folk in Argentina make their bread, and can also be used for cooking meat. The problem nowadays is finding the people with the skills to make them, so we were delighted when Veronica, one of our neighbours, friend and occasional guide, kindly offered to help us. Veronica is self-taught, and despite the usual interferences of weather, rampant puppies and children and so on, made our wonderful oven for us just before Christmas. We are told that the test of a good oven is to stand on the top of it and if it is made properly it should hold, but as Kevin and Lou have been eating too many ‘postres’ recently we didn’t think it a good idea!!!
