WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Buenos Aires
Begin your 9-hour tour with a drive from your hotel in Buenos Aires to the village of San Antonio de Areco. Enjoy views of the pampas en route and listen to commentary about the area from your guide.
2. Museo Draghi
Paradores Draghi is the ideal corner for those who enjoy the cultural attractions offered by a place. There you will access a tour through the sumptuous space where you can see a vast collection of pieces of rural goldsmithing of the nineteenth century, which reveals the mysteries of a period of national identity consecration of the figure of the Gaucho as a main character of that time. In Paradores Draghi begin your journey through history not only as a spectator, but also as a participant in the process of making exclusive goldsmith pieces that take shape through the hands of artisans recreating the techniques of traditional goldsmithing as their founder, Juan José Draghi, did in the 60s.
3. Parroquia San Antonio de Padua
Located on Segundo Sombra Street, between Alsina and Arrellano. Don José Ruiz de Arellano founded the first oratory in the center of his stay. The foundation of this oratory was very important for the creation of the town. In the years 1720 and 1728, the first chapel was built, it was located a little more to the right than the current one. The foundation stone of the present church was placed on February 7, 1869 and was buried under the central entrance door. Inside it was placed a lead box containing the original records written on parchment, newspapers of the day, medals and coins of the time.
4.
At the corner of Don Segundo Sombra and Zapiola streets, a peaked house rises from its peeling walls. This is the grocery & drinks store where peasants and country people who came to town to provide themselves and do errands to the cereal house, the store, the doctor, the bank, used to meet. Don Segundo Ramírez, the gaucho who was later a character in the novel by Ricardo Güiraldes, used to stop here. Nowadays, it continues to be a meeting place and has a long history of typical people from the countryside.
5. San Antonio de Areco
Make your way to the Estancia. At this place, you will have a chance to take rides on horses or go for a ride in a carriage while enjoying some traditional cold cuts, cheeses and beverages. Then, you will enjoy a typical Argentinian barbeque of the finest meats. While you have dessert, you will be able to see a folklore show followed by a demonstration of gaucho skills.

The friendliness of our hostess of the Estancia stood out. The food was excellent and we just enjoyed the whole experience. Would recommend that anyone going to BA should have a Gaucho experience

A great day, and expertly hosted by Marcelo, who was on time, kind, passionate and full of information.
A very comfortable drive out to San Antonio de Areco, with a short stroll around the town wit( some useful historical facts, before arriving at El Ombu ranch for empanadas and cold beer. A ride on horseback, with very patient horses and gauchos, as we showed our varied levels of horsemanship!
A huge lunch, of wonderful meats and salads, washed down with more beers and wines, an amazing display of horse husbandry from the gauchos, and music and dancing to top off our day.

Great day trip! Miriam was a great guide who explained things well as we went along. Daniel was a great, safe driver. Both were courteous and very friendly. I would say this day trip is a must for anyone who is visiting Buenos Aires for the first time.

The guide was pleasant, informative and helpful. The food was excellent. The entertainment was disappointing. I expected to see gauchos demonstrating their skills on horseback, instead we got a rather awkward view of a horse lying down with a gaucho.

This trip was a lot of fun! I wanted a gaucho experience and most certainly got one! The food at the estancia was incredible and it never seemed to stop—it just kept on coming, and all of it was amazing. That being said, there were no gaucho exploits or tricks as advertised, but the food and conversations I enjoyed with my fellow travelers more than made up for it. Note, this is not for introverts as most of the fun comes from dancing with people and enjoying the conversations!

We had a great day. Alejandra and Mario were the guide and driver. Alejandra was very informative about the history of Buenos Aires and the life of a typical gaucho. The food and wine were delicious and the dancing and music from the different regions of Argentina was really interesting and beautiful.
