At Estancia Cerro Guido, conservation isn’t an add-on, it’s the core of how they operate in Patagonia. They lead a long-term puma coexistence project designed to protect the region’s biodiversity while supporting responsible ranching, reducing conflict with wildlife through non-lethal measures such as livestock guardian dogs, improved herding practices, and proactive prevention. By protecting the puma, they help safeguard Patagonia’s biodiversity and natural heritage, and by protecting ranching livelihoods, they also help preserve the cultural heritage of the Patagonian gauchos and the traditions that shape this landscape. This work is strengthened through scientific monitoring and collaboration, education, and engagement with the local community, helping generate measurable impact and solutions that can be replicated across the region. By staying at Cerro Guido, travellers directly support this mission and enjoy an authentic experience where warm hospitality, Patagonian culture, and wild nature come together with a genuine, long-term commitment to conservation. Through their stay, guests help fund the Cerro Guido Conservation Foundation’s efforts. An environmental fee of $35 per person per night is donated directly to the foundation to support these conservation efforts.
