Tour Description
Upon your arrival at the Estancia, you'll receive a warm welcome paired with a refreshing drink.
Embark on a tour of the 300 hectares of the estancia either on horseback, in a sulky, or on foot, soaking in the natural beauty and engaging in livestock activities. A sulky, a small two-wheeled carriage drawn by a horse, is perfect for leisurely countryside rides. You'll have the chance to observe and take part in rural tasks like milking, herding, and cattle vaccination, depending on the daily schedule. For bird enthusiasts, we provide binoculars and illustrated guides to help you spot the local wildlife.
At lunchtime, indulge in an Argentine barbecue served in the dining room by a large fireplace or outside under the shade of the Ombú tree. Savor the renowned Argentine meats, complemented by local wines and a variety of international and Creole dishes.
In the afternoon, unwind by the swimming pool with solarium, engage in games of ping-pong, billiards, foosball, or join in soccer and volleyball matches. Alternatively, consider a bike ride or a visit to the nearby town of San Antonio de Areco, celebrated for its museums, silversmiths workshops, and artisans who preserve gaucho traditions.
To conclude the day, enjoy a performance of folk music and dance, or witness tests of Creole skill such as ring races and bull roping, available upon request.
