Estancia
Las Loicas

A few years ago I discovered the blog of Erin Mushaway, the voice behind Sol Salute. Originally from Texas, she has now lived in Argentina for many years and built a life here with her Argentine family. Through her writing she helps travelers discover Argentina beyond the obvious, sharing places, stories, and experiences with the curiosity of someone who chose this country as home.

Looking back at this past season at Las Loicas, we feel incredibly grateful. We welcomed guests from different corners of the world, each bringing their own stories and perspectives. Through shared meals, conversations around the table and time spent exploring this remote corner of Tierra del Fuego together, many arrived as visitors and left feeling connected to the place in a much deeper way.

Over the past months, we have felt increasingly inspired by the connection with our horses and by everything they can teach us about trust, communication and presence.

I know better than most that Ushuaia is the gateway to Antarctica. For fifteen years I worked in the Antarctic travel industry, that’s what first brought me here. I arrived for the first time in 2011, and like so many others, I knew Ushuaia mainly as a port of departure, the place where the great journeys to the south begin.
