Why Visit Las Plumas? #
Set at the foothills of the Patagonian steppe, this quiet Chubut town attracts travelers seeking wide open landscapes, ranch life and easy access to outdoor sport. Visitors come for estancia stays and hearty cordero al asador, plus trout and fly-fishing on nearby rivers. The town’s small-scale pace and rural hospitality make it an appealing base for exploring less-touristed Patagonian roads and gaucho culture.
