Fantastic trip to an estancia. We stopped in a very historic town and walk around for about 20 minutes (we wish we had more time here) then went on to the estancia where we enjoyed awesome empanadas, rode horses, ate lunch and then had dancing, music and a horse show. The whole day was great and the lunch was delicious. Only minor complaint was we wish the horseback riding would have been longer. It was only 15 minutes or so.
A must do. Wonderful guide (Catalina) and driver, incredible facilities and experience. A truly unique tour filled with education, history, and enjoyment.
Such a great day- the estancia is beautiful, and the whole experience felt really authentic. The asado was delicious, and we loved seeing the gauchos. Our guide was super friendly and made everything really easy and enjoyable. Definitely a highlight of our trip
Awesome day tour outside the city. Experience an afternoon at a typical gaucho ranch with a hearty parrillada -BBQ- following by folkloric dancing and horse show.
Very Authentic and a wonderful learning experience. Loved the activities. Would have loved the option of being able to ride the horses more and longer. Even worth paying more for.
Great day trip to family friendly farm. Great empanadas too. Kids loved the horses and dogs and steak.
Our experience at Estancia Gaucho Day in Buenos Aires was truly memorable and exceeded expectations from start to finish. The entire process was seamless—reservations were simple, and transportation was punctual, comfortable, and very well organized both to and from our hotel, which made the day completely stress-free. A special highlight was our tour guide, Sofia who was exceptionally friendly and deeply knowledgeable about gaucho culture. Their passion and insight added so much depth to the experience, helping us truly appreciate the traditions and history behind everything we saw and did. At Hacienda Las Dueñas, we were warmly welcomed by a wonderful family who made us feel right at home. They generously shared traditional drinks, snacks, and a delicious meal, giving us an authentic taste of Argentine hospitality that felt both genuine and heartfelt. The entertainment was another standout moment—the group beautifully showcased gaucho traditions through music, song, and dance, creating an atmosphere that was both lively and culturally rich. Combined with the breathtaking natural beauty of the Pampas and an unforgettable horseback riding experience, the day felt perfectly balanced between relaxation and adventure. Considering the quality of the experience, the attention to detail, and the authenticity throughout, the tour offers excellent value and is very reasonably priced. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the true spirit of Argentina.
The Estancia was so Beautiful and the staff was so wonderful and attentive to all the details. We felt welcome by the owners. The food was amazing , the animals were adorable and well fed, the Gauchos were very talented and friendly.
A nice day trip outside of Buenos Aires. Our guide was Alejandra and driver was Max. We visited the small private farm and had a lot of animal encounters. Peacocks, chickens, horses, sheep, goats, dogs, cats and even a 3 month old donkey. Our 15 year old had a great time and full of smiles. We got to eat BBQ, feed sheep and ride horses and watched a dancing demonstration and we even got to dance too. If you want a relaxing time while in Buenos Aires, book this adventure. Probably wear old shoes bc they might get dirt on them by the time you leave.
Wonderful day. Lovely to get out to the countryside. Horse riding/carriage drive, music and dancing and horse management skills. Plentiful food and drink, empanadas, barbecue, desserts, wine or soft drinks and coffee. High praise too for our great guide Catalina who provided a running commentary about the gauchos, their history and way of life in three languages. Tip: Don’t eat much for breakfast. There is so much food.: Water on the minibus would have been welcome.
