A welcoming alternative to barren Río Mayo is this friendly estancia with horseback riding, fishing and walks to cave paintings. But the real attraction is that it might be the only place to see guanaco-shearing demonstrations: guanaco and ñandú are raised here. Activities and home-cooked meals with organic meat are included. It's 2.5km west of Río Mayo.
