  Beschreibung

  The ranch is on the Antonio Varas Peninsula in front of the city of Puerto Natales, 70 km south of the Torres del Paine National Park and 240 km north of Punta Arenas. To access it you need to cross the channel that separates it from Puerto Natales and then a one-hour drive. The ranch has an area of 5'360 ha and its landscapes contemplate meadows, forests, mountains and a sea coast. I, Ricardo, live alone on the ranch. A few times a month my daughter visits me for a weekend.
