About this activity
Step into Argentina's gaucho heartland on this full-day immersion at a working estancia (ranch) just outside Buenos Aires. Combine authentic horsemanship demonstrations, traditional farm-to-table dining, and live folkloric music in one culturally rich experience.
Discover the South American Gaucho culture while enjoying a traditional Argentinian experience at a charming countryside farmhouse. Flavor typical specialties such as empanadas and local wines.
