Itinerary
Begin your 9-hour tour with a drive from your hotel in Buenos Aires to the village of San Antonio de Areco. Enjoy views of the pampas en route and listen to commentary about the area from your guide.
Visit a traditional silversmith's workshop, where skilled artisans craft exquisite pieces like mates and belt buckles, preserving gaucho traditions. Afterwards, a stop at a local chocolate shop provides a sweet contrast. These two brief stops perfectly showcase Areco's enduring craftsmanship and delightful local treats.
Located on Segundo Sombra Street, between Alsina and Arrellano. Don José Ruiz de Arellano founded the first oratory in the center of his stay. The foundation of this oratory was very important for the creation of the town. In the years 1720 and 1728, the first chapel was built, it was located a little more to the right than the current one. The foundation stone of the present church was placed on February 7, 1869 and was buried under the central entrance door. Inside it was placed a lead box containing the original records written on parchment, newspapers of the day, medals and coins of the time.
Make your way to a Estancia in Buenos Aires in San Antonia de Areco. At this place, you will have a chance to take rides on horses while enjoying some traditional cold cuts, cheeses and beverages. Then, you will enjoy a typical Argentinian barbeque of the finest meats. While you have dessert, you will be able to see a folklore show followed by a demonstration of gaucho skills.

Cata was a great guide and very knowledgeable
Highly recommend. My husband and I had a great time. A driver came right to our hotel to pick us up and take us to the larger group. Our guide was very informative. The eatancia experience was just as described.
Super day, really great experience! The entire organization, the transport, the tour guide (Stella), the family at the ranch, the food... simply everything was really top-notch! We had a super day - absolutely recommended if you want to see something more than just Buenos Aires. The horseback riding was adapted to our abilities, and so our daughter was able to gallop across the ranch with the gaucho. Stella was super nice and really told us a lot about the country, the people, and the culture. The small folklore performance was also lovingly done, everything very informal. A thousand thanks for the wonderful day!
We had a lovely relaxed day at the Gaucho ranch today. Our food was tasty and very generous - more than we could eat. We enjoyed horse riding and carriage riding. Watching and joining the dancing was funny and warm. The horse whisperer was something else and a real highlight.
Excellent experience, transportation was first class, the guide Sofia was superb and it was an extremely enjoyable day! Food, entertainment, location, and horse back riding were great!!
What a wonderful experience! Our tour guide Sabrina, was kind and extremely knowledgeable and we had the greatest time spending the day with the gauchos on the ranch! The food was amazing and the show was lovely! Would definitely recommend!!
My family had a wonderful day. Our guide Sofia is the best, so nice and knowledgable. The ranch is very beautiful and the staff are very welcoming and offer a delicious parrillada lunch and entertainment. It was super fun.
Fantastic tour guide, Kata and driver, Aaron. Kata's passion for her country shines through in her job as tour guide, she was brilliant however the tour stops I found a little boring. The walk around San Antonio was mundane with nothing really worth seeing. The ranch was nice but nothing much to see or do. The horse ride was enjoyable but the Goucho's made no effort to converse with us or even offer to take photos. The food was great and there was plenty of it but lunch took quite a long time. The dancing was simple and it was fun that we were all able to join in. I feel this could've been offered as a half day tour rather than a full day tour.
The driver was so slow. Drove 20km under the speed limit. Doesn't know how to drive on a dirt road. We visited a town for a walk just to fill in time. Was a waste. The ranch was just like any farm in Australia. The horse riding was one horse following the other in a very slow walk. The groucho's helping with the horses were not friendly or helpful at all. It was like they didn't want to be there. Lunch was lovely if you love meat. The dancing was basic. The best part of the day was the horse whispering which lasted 5min.
The overall experience was amazing. To connect with nature and to do so with a guide who was knowledgable, a place that felt like home, and with a small group that made it comfortable; made the experience enjoyable.
