Pick up in your hotel. Going through the amazing landscape of the "pampas" you will learn about the relief, the gaucho, the land, the culture and lifestyle of the countrymen. Arrival at San Antonio de Areco, the cradle of tradition.

A real gaucho town from 18th century. The most traditional one around the Buenos Aires province. Enjoy a guided tour around its historic core visiting the main church, the square and a museum-silversmith workshop related with the gaucho and the Argentinean tradition in silver. Continue for 10 km to arrive at the Estancia, where we will spend the rest of the day. Activities: horse riding, horse-drawn carriages, swimming pool, bikes, long walks by the green areas, relax in the main house, talk with the gauchos, drink "mate" .. and of course eat "empanadas" and our best "asado" - typical Argentinean grill. If you prefer a ranch with some traditional folk music or horse skills shows, just let us know.
