Okay. Buenos Aires we know is great, but do you want to have a break from the City to breathe green? A field day is the solution. Enjoy a different day in the Argentinian Pampas. We will get to know the town of San Antonio de Areco and spend the day in a traditional Estancia. There we can ride horses, eat roast and see a real demonstration of gaucha prowess.

We will arrive at the town of San Antonio de Areco. Upon reaching the "cradle of tradition" you will experience the great contrast between the hectic metropolis that has left and the enchanting stillness of this other Argentina, that of the gauchos. Proud of its authenticity and the ways of the old days, the friendly San Antonio de Areco has a real sense of heritage and its history.

Afterwards, we will set off towards the Estancia in the countryside.
Once at the estancia, passengers can take horseback rides or go for a stroll while enjoying traditional Argentine empanadas and drinks.
