Estancia
Alto Ongamira
At the estancia with its 7,500 acres of
unblemished wilderness you can enjoy the spectacular countryside, the
hills and the tranquility of this scenery on horse-back, walking or
simply resting in the estancia's garden.
Contemplating the surroundings is a unique experience which will put you
in touch with the peace of the hills.
Due to its proximity of Alto Ongamira to historic locations, you can
visit other attractions such as Ischilin, the Fader Museum, Mount
Uritorco and the incredible Saint Catherine Jesuit Convent during your
stay.
The estancia is very cozy and comfortable.
The rooms are spacious and bright and with all the modern conveniences.
Open the windows at dawn to experience the view from the house for an
unforgettable moment.
The large garden concentrates the magic of the location. It is the ideal
spot to enjoy nature after horse-back riding or an afternoon at the pool.
The culinary experience is unforgettable. Breakfast and tea with home
baked bread, fried pastries, croissants, the home made jams of Donna
Irene, natural fruit juices and local honey.
Using regional products, the chef offers an authentic refined
country-style fare, served in a dinning room ambiance which fosters
relaxation after the meal. Argentine-style open fire barbecues by the
pool or the option of a large picnic basket to take along on the rides.
Your horseback riding trip will start at the horse-corral, where the
farm hands saddle the mounts to get you on your way. There are options
for everybody. From a couple of hours of riding per day, up to the
possibility of riding between the hills and the monumental cliffs for
several days, enjoying the most incredible locations nature can offer.
For example, reaching the Moon Ravine and watching the condors fly over
the peaks of the cliffs. You can return to the estancia at night to
sleep or camp between the hills. There you will enjoy a bonfire, the
tales of our guides and endless guitar playing at the light of the fire

These lands contain our history.
The Comechingones Indians had their main settlement in the lands of
Ongamira, close to the source of the Los Sauces river, in the area of
the Asperos and Esperanza hills.
Colchequin Mount, which the Comechingones called Charalqueta, stands
proud at the other end of the Ongamira Valley, overseeing the realm.
Today, looking from the bottom of this picturesque and curious corner of
the hills, there is a feeling of peace.
