Gaucho Culture in the Pampas
Escape the bustle of Buenos Aires and immerse yourself in the soul of Argentina’s countryside on this full-day journey to San Antonio de Areco, the heartland of gaucho tradition.
Accompanied by your private guide, you’ll set off on a scenic drive across the pampas to reach this charming colonial town, where cobblestone streets, silversmith workshops, and historic pulperías (old taverns) tell the story of rural life. You’ll stroll through town before arriving at a working estancia, where Argentina’s equestrian culture comes alive.
Enjoy a traditional asado lunch with a full spread of grilled meats, homemade empanadas, salads, and local wine. Between courses, relax under the trees as local musicians play folk music, or witness a gaucho horsemanship demonstration — a display of skill, pride, and connection between rider and horse.
Throughout the day, your private guide and driver ensure a seamless, comfortable experience, allowing you to soak in the scenery, stories, and spirit of Argentina’s countryside.
Return to Buenos Aires in the late afternoon, carrying with you the warmth, flavor, and folklore of the pampas.
