 Description:
Indian term that means “valley of the white waters”, this estancia is a real oasis in San Juan. Its first owner, Federico Cantoni, was a leader in the 1930s who sowed more than 500 tree species in these lands, thus turning this place into a flower and fruit garden. Today, lime trees, the chestnut trees, fruit trees, oak trees and willows shade the shell, where Sergio and Silvina welcome their guests to lodge them in the comfortable and austere country cabins. From there, the landscape is enjoyed by wandering in the mountain, riding Peruvian horses or, if you are a lover of adventure, windsurfing in the Cuesta del Viento dam.
