HISTORY:
This estancia was founded in the late 19th century as part of “Sociedad Explotadora Tierra del Fuego,” the largest and most prominent sheep-farming company in Patagonian history.

As a result of the region’s geographic and climatic conditions, the estancias developed a lifestyle that permeates Patagonian culture. The need to be self-sufficient led settlers and workers to live with their families and work in a small village.

Today, it is possible to learn about that history thanks to our charming hotel, which is built in the Owner’s House and Administration House of Cerro Guido. In addition to the workers’ houses, you will also find an antique kitchen and dining room, blacksmithing and carpentry workshops, garage, fire station, shearing shed, stables and kennels, as well as other facilities. There is also a childcare facility, a school, a police station and a health clinic for the local community.
