LOCATION
Estancia Tecka, Esquel, Chubut.
Endless "fields of gold" untouched land and virgin waters!!!
Estancia Tecka is located in Patagonia, south of the town of Esquel in the province of Chubut. Nestled up against the Andes close to the Chilean border, it would be hard to imagine a more picturesque venue to fish for trout. Surrounded by over 400,000 acres of working sheep ranch, the Corcovado and the Tecka rivers both run through the ranch.
An interesting bit of history about Estancia Tecka happened in the early 1900's, when Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had a hideout in this area. In late 1909, they captured and held the owner of Estancia Caridad (now part of Estancia Tecka) for ransom. He escaped 28 days later by chewing through the rawhide straps that held his wooden cage together.
There are 42 "Gauchos" families that life inside the land of Estancia Tecka, some of them are so isolated that the Gauchos horses had never before seen a car when we were there last December! The Gauchos, work on the Estancia, taking care of the land, sheeps and cows. In addtion to guiding the land.
