- San Antonio de Areco - Explore a traditional silversmith’s workshop, where talented artisans create beautiful items like mates and belt buckles, keeping gaucho traditions alive. Following this, a visit to a local chocolate shop offers a delightful contrast. These brief stops highlight Areco’s enduring craftsmanship and delicious local specialties.
- Parroquia San Antonio de Padua - Situated on Segundo Sombra Street, between Alsina and Arrellano. Don José Ruiz de Arellano established the first oratory at the heart of his estate. This oratory’s foundation was crucial for the town’s development. Between 1720 and 1728, the first chapel was constructed, slightly to the right of the current location. The foundation stone of the present church was laid on February 7, 1869, and was buried beneath the central entrance door. Inside, a lead box containing original records on parchment, newspapers of the day, medals, and coins of the era was placed.
- San Antonio de Areco - Head to an Estancia in Buenos Aires located in San Antonio de Areco. Here, enjoy horseback rides while savoring traditional cold cuts, cheeses, and beverages. Then, indulge in a classic Argentinian barbecue featuring the finest meats. As you enjoy dessert, experience a folklore show followed by a display of gaucho skills.

Amazing experience and an amazing guide! - I would give more than 5 stars if possible. Marcelo was our tour guide and driver for the day. He was extremely knowledgeable, and very friendly. We are so thankful he was our guide. By far this was one of the best experiences we had during our time in Argentina!

Wonderful ranch trip with the family- - We had such an amazing day- our guide was fantastic, really making the trip interesting for the younger members of our group. The ranch was beautiful, the horseback riding, cultural information and food were all perfectly balanced, delicious and fun. We had 3 vegetarians in our group and were pleasantly surprised at the options available and quality of the veg food! I would highly recommend to anyone.

The best experience. - Yael, our tour guide was fabulous. She was entertaining, had great information and gave great suggestions and recommendations. This excursion was my favorite day because you got to learn a lot about the culture outside the city and interact a bit with nature.

Gaucho - Carolina was a wonderful, informative guide. She made great conversation and made the experience very fun. The food was delicious! We loved the dancing and riding the horses as well. We were nervous going in to the dancing knowing nothing but it turned out to be a fun, relaxed experience.

Unique experience . - Tour starts with staff looking at the hotel, excellent guide Alejandra, explains very well in several languages, and helps a lot. Arriving at the Ombu farm, reception and horse ride, very quiet for those who have experience or not. Sensational lunch , delicious food and in absurd amounts , drink at will , and two dessert options , very attentive staff .
Then a folk show , well-prepared and interactive people . I recommend it to everyone , worth every penny .

Gaucho Fun - So fun! We loved the lunch with the dancing and singing, and the gaucho show was so much fun! It's worth the trip for something unique to do just outside of Buenos Aires.
