    Small-Group Gaucho Day at a Farm in San Antonio de Areco
    From US$175.00
    Overview
    El Ombu de Areco Estancia is a traditional ranch located in San Antonio de Areco, at the heart of gaucho (cowboy) country and a 1.5-hour drive from Buenos Aires. On this small-group tour, spend a whole day at the estancia and experience gaucho culture with activities including a ranch tour, horseback ride, a BBQ lunch, and a folklore show.
    What to Expect
    After pickup from your Buenos Aires hotel, travel to El Ombu de Areco Estancia by air-conditioned minivan and enjoy stunning views of the Argentine pampas along the way.

    On arrival, follow your guide on a walking tour of San Antonio de Areco and learn why the country town is known as the ‘birthplace of the gaucho’. Continue to the ranch and saddle up for a fun horseback ride (suitable for all abilities) or horse carriage ride around the estancia.

    After working up an appetite, tuck into a typical ‘asado’ barbecue, with delicious Argentine steak, salads, and dessert, accompanied by Malbec wine. While you eat, be entertained by a thrilling folklore show, including live music, folk dancing, and a dramatic horsemanship display by the gauchos.

    Your tour ends back in Buenos Aires with drop-off at your hotel.

    Complete gaucho experience

    Excellent full day tour of pampas countryside. Guide Pablo provided a very entertaining and funny explanation on the drive out. Culture and food seemed authentic. Music and dancing completed the day. (The muddy out-of-the-way 4 wheel drive journey showed this was the real deal). Highly...More
