We stayed at this Estancia near Ruta 40 overnight, a really interesting experience. As far as I remember, the size of the Estancia is about 80 km², Don Enrice, the owner, told us.Tapi Aike was established in 1904 by von Heinz and Stubenrauch in a relatively high area with poor pastures on the plateau. The name is ancient, an Aonikenk place name for the small brackish lagoon that is located there. The word means "kidney" perhaps it was a good hunting place for guanacos.- scanned slide, Minolta X700
