Escape the city for a full-day adventure in the Argentine countryside and experience life at a traditional Estancia. This is a perfect getaway for anyone looking to connect with Argentina’s rural roots through food, music, and cultural heritage. Spend the day immersed in the relaxed atmosphere of a working ranch, surrounded by open fields, horses, and friendly faces.
Your day begins with a private pickup by a professional English-speaking driver directly from your hotel. Relax in a comfortable vehicle as you leave behind the busy streets of Buenos Aires and head into the peaceful Pampas region. It’s a scenic and enjoyable ride, giving you the perfect introduction to the natural beauty of Argentina.
Please note that this experience is best enjoyed with a pickup time scheduled for 9:00 AM, as the activities at the ranch begin at 10:00 AM. Entrance to the ranch is not included in the price and costs approximately 95 dollars per person, payable on-site.
Upon arrival at the Estancia, you will be welcomed by the local hosts and invited to explore the ranch grounds. Begin your visit with a walk through the on-site museum, which showcases antique tools, farming equipment, and household items from Argentina’s rural past. Then, visit the charming old chapel, a peaceful spot that adds to the historical ambiance of the ranch.
Take a horse-drawn carriage ride across the property and admire the landscapes, horses, and traditional buildings that define life on the Pampas. The slow pace allows you to take in every detail and enjoy the calm surroundings.
At noon, a bell rings to signal the start of the Asado lunch. Gather with fellow visitors for a feast of grilled meats, fresh salads, and classic Argentine side dishes. Vegetarian options are available. Enjoy wine, soft drinks, or water with your meal, followed by a traditional dessert. As you dine, live music and dance performances bring the culture to life with Tango and folk rhythms.
After lunch, head to the riding arena for an exciting demonstration of Gaucho horsemanship. Watch as the riders showcase their skills in traditional games and stunts that have been passed down for generations.
To close the day, you’ll be served Mate Cocido and sweet Pastelitos Dulces—mini pies that are a beloved local treat. This quiet moment gives you time to reflect on your experience while soaking in the relaxed countryside atmosphere.
Your driver will then bring you back to Buenos Aires, completing
