About this tour

Upon arrival at the Estancia, you will be greeted with a warm welcome and a refreshing drink.

We will tour the 300 hectares of the estancia on horseback, in a sulky or on foot, enjoying the natural beauty and livestock activities. A sulky is a small two-wheeled carriage pulled by a horse, ideal for leisurely rides through the countryside. You will be able to observe and participate in rural tasks such as milking, herding and vaccination of cattle, depending on the work schedule. For bird lovers, binoculars and illustrated guides will be provided to spot the local fauna.

At lunchtime, an Argentine barbecue awaits us in the dining room in front of a large fireplace, or outdoors under the shade of the Ombú tree. Enjoy world-famous Argentine meats accompanied by local wines and a variety of international and Creole dishes.

In the afternoon, we will be able to relax in the swimming pool with solarium, play ping-pong, billiards, foosball, or participate in soccer and volleyball games. You can also opt for a bike ride or a visit to the nearby town of San Antonio de Areco, known for its museums, silversmiths workshops and artisans that keep gaucho traditions alive.

To close the day, we enjoyed a show of folk music and dance, or tests of Creole skill such as ring races and bull roping, available upon request.
