Disconnect to Reconnect: Why Off-the-Grid Travel Is the New Luxury

In a world where we’re expected to be constantly connected, the idea of truly switching off has become more appealing than ever. Off-The-Grid Vacations are no longer just a niche retreat - they’re a growing movement for those seeking space, stillness, and a deeper connection with nature. From cycling through the wilds of Madagascar to glamping beneath the stars on the Great Barrier Reef, travel site Hero & Leander recently showcased their top 20 unforgettable off-the-grid getaways - and we were thrilled to be included among them.

Riding alongside the gauchos here at Estancia Los Potreros is more than just an escape from emails and notifications - it’s a return to something simpler, more grounded, and wonderfully real.

If you’ve never experienced an off-the-grid stay before, you might wonder what it really feels like. Well, by the time you’ve bounced your way down the 4km dirt track that leads to our gates, you’ll already start to sense the shift. No streetlights, no traffic noise - just birdsong, open skies, and the creak of a saddle.

The first thing you’ll likely spot is our windmill turning slowly against the backdrop of the Sierras Chicas. It’s not just for show: along with an expanding bank of solar panels, it powers much of the estancia, keeping us largely self-sufficient and true to our sustainability goals. There’s no television, no mobile signal in the hills—and surprisingly, you won’t miss them.

Instead, you’ll find yourself reconnecting in other ways. With the rhythm of nature. With a horse beneath you. With stories shared around the fire, and stars so bright they hardly seem real. Off-the-grid isn’t about going without - it’s about gaining something far more meaningful.

So if you're craving a break from the noise, the pings, the pressure - come and lose signal with us. We promise you’ll find something better.
