I recently spent a day on this tour with friends. The overall experience was amazing - unlike anything I had done before - and it was truly special to experience an authentic Gaucho ranch and lifestyle. The meal was fantastic and the food just didn't stop coming!
Horse riding was also great fun, and the 'horse whispering' was really impressive.
The day was made even better by our fantastic tour guide Sabrina, who took every opportunity to explain everything around us for the whole day. Her attentive nature, great conversation and fun personality was a great reflection of the day as a whole.

We were picked up right on time by the tour guide Sabrina and her driver. Sabrina’s English was very good and she was easy for us to understand. She had a lovely personality and guided us on our trip to San Antonio de Areca and then out to the beautiful estancia. It was much different than a ranch in the US.
We enjoyed all aspects of the trip. The horse back ride, the dancing and the horse whisperer were all done well. The fabulous lunch with way too much food capped by the most delicious flan!
Our thanks to Sabrina for taking such good care of our group.
