What To Expect
San Antonio de Areco
Explore the town of San Antonio de Areco and visit a traditional "pulpería," a classic South American store selling essential goods. You’ll also discover the workings of a craft chocolate shop and learn about the town’s history before heading to the Estancia.
Estancia El Ombu de Areco
Argentina is famous for its expansive farmland. Since the country's establishment in the late 19th century, it has focused on agricultural and livestock exports, particularly in the fertile Pampas region. At the estancia, enjoy horse riding or a sulky ride while tasting traditional cold cuts, cheeses, and drinks. Lunch features a classic Argentine barbecue made with premium meats. After dessert, experience a folklore performance followed by a gaucho skills demonstration. This experience offers a deep insight into Argentina’s rural heritage and landscape.

5.00Our family took a day trip from Buenos Aires to San Antonio de Areco and the Estancia which included horse riding, delicious lunch, folklore show and a dance with a local Gaucho. Marcelo was our guide. He is very personable, knowledgeable and is excellent with both adults and children. Highly recommend!

5.00Estancia was attractive and well run. Excellent food and entertainment. A great introduction to guacho history and life. Our private guide was very knowledgeable for our trip to and from the estancia and help us organize where to be, and when, to maximize our viewing and photo opportunities.

5.00We had a wonderful day with Marcelo, he is truly a gifted and knowledgeable guide. With many years of experience, Marcelo was able to give us a clear understanding of the history and culture of Buenos Aires and Argentina. This was our third time visiting an Estancia, and I can say the three were all different in certain ways, and all were fun. Marcelo had specific knowledge of this Estancia and was able to give us a unique perspective on its history. This was a wonderful day trip when visiting Bueno Aires and would highly recommend this activity. Thank you Marcelo for a wonderful day.
We hired a private guide...

5.00We hired a private guide (Diego) through Viator and had a great experience. He was made to be in the business, paying total attention to us and ensuring we got every possible thing we could need taken care of. We stopped in town and did a little silver and wool shopping, and then headed off to the estancia which was absolutely beautiful. We ate a LOT of beef and fabulous empanadas, took a nice walk through the grounds, watched some dancing, and even did a little trail ride. Highly recommend!
An amazing experience...

5.00An amazing experience into Argentina’s most iconic region—Marcelo was the perfect guide—warm, knowledgeable with excellent command of English—the day was well planned with great series of accessible activities, from horseback riding and dancing to swimming in an infinity pool—all the while meeting and listening to guachos —highly recommended
Outstanding trip

5.00Pablo was an Outstanding tour companion. Extensive discussion about Argentina and the surroundings during city departure on the drive to Estancia. Had one stop enroute in a small town to visit chocolate and silver smith stores. Included a visit to local gaucho pub. He provided over 50 pictures/videos he took of us at Estancia. Horse back ride for 45 minutes, gaucho music and dancing, and group guest dancing. Horse whisper performance was great. Food was excellent with at least 7 different meats served.
Take this tour.
