Gaucho Day: Areco Town & Estancia with Private Transfer

About this experience

Journey to the Estancia de San Antonio de Areco

In a historical and still working ranch ("Estancia"): with a unique sense of place developed through generations of gauchos working in the property.

You will slowly discover this retreat in the lush vegetation of the Pampas:
Horseback riding in the open fields, just wandering around, visiting the main house and after the Argentine beef lunch some local folk music and dances.

With a great demonstration of Gaucho skills on horseback.

Additionally, we offer a one-hour stop in the historic town of San Antonio de Areco, where you will have free time to explore its charming streets, browse local shops, and enjoy its colonial atmosphere at your own pace before arriving at the Estancia.

You will definitely wind this day up getting a piece of the Argentine soul.
