Gaucho Experience on an Estancia

The scenic and pleasant drive from Buenos Aires to San Antonio de Areco takes just over an hour, but the journey brings you deep into the Pampas, the heart and birthplace of Argentina’s Gaucho traditions. Upon arrival, settle in to your elegant guestroom at our luxury hotel, set on the grounds of a 200-year-old estancia. The rest of the afternoon and evening are yours to enjoy as you wish.

You might explore the expansive park-like grounds of the Estancia by foot, mountain bike or horseback, perhaps accompanied by one of the seasoned gauchos. A horse-drawn carriage ride offers a particularly delightful way to experience your surroundings. This evening’s dinner features authentic regional cuisine accompanied by fine Argentine wine.

After a hearty breakfast, the morning is yours to enjoy the lovely setting and activities of our luxury retreat. La Bamba de Areco is also home to one of Argentina’s most beloved polo teams and guests often have the opportunity to watch them practice on one of the Estancia’s two polo fields. After lunch, we’ll take you back to Buenos Aires.  Meals B+L
