Year 1905
A new life in Patagonia
At the young age of 15, Antonio Kusanovic Jercic left Croatia and began a new life at the end of the world, far from home, in Patagonia. In 1926 his son, Antonio Kusanovic Senkovic, was born and would eventually follow in his footsteps.

Year 1979
Cerro Paine Ranch
Antonio Kusanovic Jercic purchased the Cerro Paine Ranch, with plans to continue his family heritage in livestock. The wide open, unpopulated, diverse land of Patagonia was ideal for agriculture purposes and the ranch was used exclusively for these purposes for decades. Over time, the Kusanovic family had more than 600 cows grazing the land.

Year 1990
The birth of Hotel Las Torres
As word of mouth started spreading about Patagonia, Torres del Paine, and the three massive granite towers that soared there, Antonio and his wife Amor Eliana Marusic began to offer a warm bed and home-cooked food to tired travelers. They refurbished part of their ranch, built nine rooms and constructed a restaurant… giving the simple beginnings to Hotel Las Torres.
