Between season
in Tierra del Fuego

As Autumn settles over the farm, the rhythm changes. The days become quieter and there is more space to focus on the projects that often have to wait during the busy season. The call is our season for building and creating and getting everything ready to service the cold months. While the landscape rests, we continue working on the future of Las Loicas. This year, that includes a new quincho, newly built stables for the horses and an expanded greenhouse that will help us grow even more of the food we serve at the table. Each project is a small step towards creating an even richer estancia experience while staying true to the character of our place.

Winter also gives us the opportunity to reconnect with the land itself. The road can become challenging and there is often little or no traffic on Ruta A. We move into our Captain’s Cabin and close down the rest of the house, living together in a smaller space that is easier to keep warm through the winter days. It is a season that reveals the raw character of this landscape. The winds feel stronger, the days shorter and the sense of isolation greater. Yet it is also a time we have come to love. The sky shows us spectacular color in the morning and in the evening and there is a simplicity to winter here that brings us closer to the land and reminds us why we chose this life in the first place

From October onwards, we will once again welcome guests to share in that experience. Not through a fixed program or a long list of activities, but through the opportunity to spend time in a place where life follows a different rhythm. A place where nature is always present, where hospitality comes naturally, and where exploring often begins the moment you step outside.

We are grateful to everyone who has been part of the journey so far and excited for what lies ahead. The next season will bring new spaces, new ideas and new stories, while staying true to what Las Loicas has always been: a fully hosted estancia experience in one of the most remote and beautiful corners of Tierra del Fuego.

It’s the starting point for other kinds of expeditions, across the island itself, through its forests and mountains, to its remote estancias and forgotten coasts.

One of these places is Península Mitre: a wild, untouched region at the eastern tip of the island. Here, the Atlantic crashes against the cliffs, peatlands stretch endlessly, and traces of old estancias and shipwrecks whisper stories of human resilience at the edge of the world. Expeditions here can last from four to ten days, a true journey into one of the last wilderness areas of Argentina

The province worth slowing down for

Online you’ll often read that you can “see Tierra del Fuego in two days.” But that couldn’t be further from the truth. You could spend weeks here, walking, driving, sailing, listening, and still only begin to understand this land. And it is not only the Argentinean side which is interesting, what about combining it with a visit to Puerto Williams or even drive to Torres del Paine.

And then there’s the north of Tierra del Fuego, where we live, at Cabo San Pablo. It’s open, rugged, quiet, and endlessly inspiring. You can walk through our forests, visit the shipwreck Desdémona, watch the changing light over the ocean, and feel what it means to truly arrive somewhere far away, and yet profoundly connected to live.

An Invitation

So yes, Ushuaia is the gateway to Antarctica. But it’s also the gateway to a much larger story, to Tierra del Fuego itself. Come south not only to sail away, but to stay. To explore, to breathe, and to feel the land beneath the wind. At Las Loicas, and across this province, you’ll find that the end of the world is really just the beginning.
