ABOUT ESTANCIA RIO QUILLEN - in their own words:
In 1908 Don Juan Lagos Mármol was appointed
by the Minister of Internal Affairs to investigate claims made by the settlers of
Catan-Lil, a small town located in the province of Neuquén, 300 km southwest of Ea Río Quillén. Obeying orders,
he traveled by train to Neuquén and from there on horseback the rest of the way. After
riding for a whole week he finally reached the town. While working on the investigation,
he met Don Alejandro Arze, a local landowner, who mentioned the possibility of renting two
private properties of 20.000
hectares each. Don Juan fell in
love with the land and its people and decided to go ahead with the rental. After a few
years, he finally decided to buy the land and build what Ea Río Quillén is today, a
paradise on earth.
Estancia Río Quillén is a private property
nested in the Lanín National Park and only 120 km northwest of the town of San Martín de los Andes.
We aim at providing our guests with a
personalized service in a warm environment to make Ea Río QUILLÉN your home in Patagonia.
Our House:
The main house with its cozy country style

spectacular sunsets by the fireplace are a unique pleasure. All bedrooms, most of
which overlook the valley, are comfortable and pleasantly decorated. Estancia Río
Quillén offers as well two comfortable cabins - The River Cabin and the Lake Cabin.
