	Enjoying a Lamb asado

The Estancia Fortin Chacabuco, is located 30 minutes north of Bariloche still within the Nahuel Huapi National Park. The estancia offers 8 private miles of the famous Limay River. The ranch captures the flavor of historical estancias in Patagonia and still operates similarly to the way large ranches were run years ago raising sheep, cattle and horses.
The lodge also offers perhaps the finest horseback riding trips in the area. The lodge is also popular with hunters seeking red deer during the fall. Cast and blast opportunities arise in March and April.

What further completes this rustic ranch is its reputation of it's delicious lamb asados or barbeque. Cordero al cruz or lamb on the cross, is slowly cooked on an iron cross which is leaned over the heat of an open fire.. The estancia is well known in Patagonia for producing a breed of sheep that produces both great tasting meat and high quality wool. Before Fortin Chacabuco produced this hybrid, the ranches of Patagonia were required to cultivate two different sheep if they wished to sell to both the meat and wool markets.

Rickie is one of the estancia mangers. He is in charge of everything from preparing the asados, guiding horseback rides, attending to guests and overseeing estancia projects. In the fall months, he guides red deer hunts. He is a charming gentleman and cooks a fantastic lamb asado that one never forgets. Previous guests sometimes comment on the big trout they caught, but they never fail to mention the lamb asado prepared by Rickie.
