the sprawling estancias and charming towns, like Bariloche, that remind
one of Alpine villages. Even Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid found
sanctuary
in Patagonia. Nestled among the plains, lakes and Andes Mountains is
the
secluded Estancia Alicura, whose gauchos still ride horseback over the
sprawling 200,00 acres.
