PAID CONTENT FOR ESTANCIA CERRO GUIDO


Estancia Cerro Guido TORRES DEL PAINE, CHILE


At the far southern edge of Chilean Patagonia, where the open steppe meets the granite towers of Torres del Paine, winter reveals a quieter dimension of the landscape. With fewer visitors, and often less wind than in other seasons, Patagonia feels more expansive and connected to its natural rhythms. Open year-round, Estancia Cerro Guido offers


an opportunity to experience Patagonia beyond the peak travel months. Its Winter Programme introduces seasonal experiences combining cultural heritage, wildlife conservation and exploration of remote landscapes. Spanning more than 247,000 acres, the property is the largest working estancia (estate) in Chilean Patagonia still in operation, preserving a way of life shaped by sheep farming since the early 20th century. Winter is one of the most rewarding seasons for


observing wildlife. As temperatures drop in higher elevations, animals move across lower areas of the steppe, increasing the likelihood of sightings. Estancia Cerro Guido lies within a biological corridor known for its concentration of pumas, and the full-day conservation experience offers insight


into one of Patagonia’s most ambitious coexistence initiatives. Guided by specialist trackers working alongside the Cerro Guido Conservation Foundation, the experience reveals how ranching traditions and biodiversity conservation are being reconciled. Beyond the estancia’s boundaries, Torres


del Paine National Park provides one of South America’s most iconic natural settings. Winter light brings depth to glaciers, forests and lakes, while quieter trails allow for a more contemplative connection with the environment. A full-day excursion includes navigation across Grey Lake, where icebergs drift slowly from the glacier’s face. The programme also explores the Sierra Baguales


mountains, a lesser-known corner of Patagonia with fossil-rich terrain and wide horizons. Snowshoe walks cross landscapes once submerged beneath prehistoric seas, where marine fossils reveal geological transformations spanning millions of years. Cuisine is also a key part of the experience. A


farm-to-table approach draws from the estancia’s garden, complemented by house-made charcuterie and regional meats such as hare and guanaco.
