“Having been to over 170 countries, Doug is by far the most well-traveled person whom I know. But it’s not just a contest of how many countries a person has been to. Doug’s unique and historically informed point of view is what really sets him apart. Doug, of course, has thought long and hard about his favorite place in the world. He concluded that for him it’s Argentina, the location of La Estancia de Cafayate, Doug’s sporting and lifestyle estate in beautiful Salta Province. Which naturally gives rise to the question, ‘Why, of all places in the world Doug could have built his vision of a freedom-lover’s paradise, did he and his partners choose a remote pueblo in Argentina?'”
