Two Wisconsinites on a Gaucho Ranch

5.00Our travel guide, Facundo, and his driver picked us up from our hotel right on time (despite BA traffic). It took roughly two hours to reach the town square (with a thoughtful bathroom stop on the way). Facundo taught our group facts and history of the gauchos on our drive. Very interesting! We stopped at Areco's city square for a bit and then headed to the ranch. Honestly, this visit was the highlight of our trip. The welcoming owners sat us on their heavenly porch and fed us empanadas, salsas, and Malbec. Their cats, dogs and peacocks were also on the porch - never saw begging cats before. They were adorable! We had a horseback ride and then ate more delicious home-cooked food - ribs, breads, salad, salsa. (I was a vegetarian and they served me my own delicious food). Next, we danced with the professionals - so much fun. Finally, we ended with dessert. The day was magical; I would recommend it to anyone!

5.00Really a lot of fun and very interesting once you get out of the horrible Buenos Aires traffic. Nice brief visits to San Antonio and the the estancia with horseback riding, music, dancing, gaucho show, and spectacular food. Amazing how much to eat--they just kept bringing more cuts of meat.
Worthy day trip out to the country!
