Los Chulengos

Estância Los Chulengos was unforgettable! The traditional gaucho day with my family felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The property is breathtaking, the house is cozy and beautiful, and the whole atmosphere strikes the perfect balance of rustic luxury and authenticity. Manuela and Ana thought of every detail. It’s idyllic, peaceful, and absolutely worth the trip.

I felt like I was in a dream. This place is magical. The family that owns are amazing. I really enjoyed watching the preparation of the food on the barbecue and in the huge outdoor oven. We made empanadas and all the food was fantastic. The food never stopped coming. I fell very lucky to have stayed here.

This was one of the best experiences of my life. The Palma family is so generous and kind. My lodging was wonderful and so clean. The food is amazing. The horseback riding was amazing. This Estancia is a must visit:

We stayed here last January and dream about coming back on a daily basis. HEAVEN. It is hard to adequately describe somewhere so unique, so memorable and so incredibly special. You feel as you are the most VIP guests at a secret, exclusive getaway in the Andes, with such personal, 5-star but relaxed attention. Our horseback ride was life changing, as is the time you spend with the hosts. The food and wine is out of this world - and plentiful, you won't have to eat for days! I know we will get back, Argentina in general has a special place in our hearts, and the time our family spent at Los Chulengos stays with us always. We travel all over the world (our 3 year old has been to 20+ countries!) so can say with certainty, you will not regret making this a part of your journey :)

This estancia is a truly bucket-list–worthy experience, probably one of the best stays of my life. My husband and I were lucky enough to celebrate our five-year anniversary here for one night, and we were completely in awe. As the only guests, the attention to detail and level of service were exceptional. When we arrived, Angel was already preparing our asado while our host set up a table outdoors with a stunning view of the mountains — it was absolutely breathtaking. From there, we rode horses through the Andes alongside all the ranch dogs, learned how to make empanadas mendocinas, and ended the night with a romantic dinner in our casita by a roaring fire. The cook Lucia is incredible! We had some of our favorite bites in Mendoza - I’ll dream of her Malbec poached pears forever. If you want magic, you’ll find it here in the mountains at Los Chulengos.

Staying at Los Chulengos was an unforgettable experience! I visited as part of a Wild Terrains group trip and was blown away by the warmth, hospitality, and aesthetic of this estancia. The family has a rich history connected to the land, and their genuine passion for this place really came through as they introduced us to their pastimes and traditions. From riding horses together to preparing empanadas and enjoying asado, it was wonderful to feel so welcomed and at home at the estancia. I would love to return one day and spend more time!
