About this experience

In a full day, just 70 km from Buenos Aires, in a ranch that still preserves its original historic center, we enjoyed the most authentic Gaucha Festival in Buenos Aires, with typical activities of the Argentine countryside, and a complete lunch with a show of music and dance.

Once we arrive at the Estancia, Santa Susana, we will have a little time to get to know the ranch better, while we eat some handmade empanadas. You will have free time to enjoy the views. After our free time we will be invited to participate in a traditional Argentine barbecue. The fun doesn't stop there, after lunch we will enjoy folklore and tango shows. Then the gauchos will come out to show their skills. They will demonstrate ring racing, gentleness of horses among many others. This part of the day is also interactive, so it's best to have your boots on and ready to go.
