5.00We had the best experience with Victoria! She was so fun, good information and was an excellent host. She alone is worth a 5 star review. We were lucky to have Charlie drive us who shared his Paraguay traditions with us too. We arrived and had drinks and empanadas when we arrived then met our horses and did a wonderful trek for around 20 minutes. Long enough if you're not a regular rider. After we had around half an hour to just enjoy the beautiful scenery, then came the osado. We must have had at least 10 courses of meats with potato and coleslaw salad. Drinks were free flowing. Beers, wines, soft drinks, water. Traditional dancing was demonstrated, followed by participation which was great fun. At the end we had a gaucho with his horse. I'm not going to spoil this part but it was moving and wonderful 🥹 We were worried about spending a whole day doing this when we only had 3 days in BA, but will never do this kind of t our again, so I'm so glad we did it! Thanks Victoria and Charlie ❤️
Amazing day !

5.00Beautiful place to relax eat good food and know people from different parts o f the world. The gauchos were happy people that share their knowledge on the culture. We had a blast and we recommend it. The only complain is that the pick up times are not early in the morning and the drive is 2hrs long so you'll end up having just 3 hrs there.
Day with the Argentine Gauchos

5.00Marcelo pick us up from the hotel, he was a great guide. Explaining a lot of facts about Buenos Aires and Gaucho’s life. Once we got to the farm we were warmly welcome by the host there. We had a chance to ride the horse, have a delicious “parrillada”. We got to enjoy the Argentine folklore dancing and singing. I recommend this excursion. Lilian and John
Fun and pleasant

5.00The experience was really fun and Oriana a nice and prepared guide. Absolutely recommended to get out of the city traffic is to carry out an activity in contact with nature and traditions of this country.
Awesome
