- 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.

Quality tour with great staff - Fantastic and knowledgable guide, comfortable bus and skilled driver making for a relaxed ride which was great given it was a big day. Followed the standard stops and activities from what I can tell but the staff made it special.

Beautiful day in the countryside - This group tour was great, we were driven in a nice van with plenty of space. They took time for rest stops and kept us well informed on what to expect. Michaela is an excellent guide and even brought maps and props to explain the gaucho life. The farm has well appointed amenities, bathrooms, lockers and large patio for dining. You will have plenty to eat. Horseback riding was the right length. I highly recommend this tour for a change of scenery and peaceful day outside of the bustling traffic of Buenos Aires

Lovely ranch visit - My husband and I had a lovely day from start to finish. Our tour guide Miriam and the driver Max were really attentive and ensured we had what we needed throughout the day. If you are in the region, I would strongly recommend taking this tour in order to experience authentic food and music and enjoy nature 😊

Highly recommended fun day trip - Really a lot of fun and very interesting once you get out of the horrible Buenos Aires traffic. Nice brief visits to San Antonio and the the estancia with horseback riding, music, dancing, gaucho show, and spectacular food. Amazing how much to eat--they just kept bringing more cuts of meat.

Great day at the ranch - Great day at the ranch. Carolina our guide was great and so informative especially on the bus journeys. The stop in the local town was interesting, and a chance to buy local produce (we got chocolate). The horse whispering and ride were cool and the asado was top notch
