A Private Day Trip to an Estancia in San Antonio de Areco

[widgetkit id=8767]
 
On this day trip with Camino Pampa Tours you’ll take in the rural town of San Antonio de Areco, a working ranch (estancia) & the surrounding Argentina pampas: the land of the gauchos.

Why Take a Private Estancia Day Trip with Camino Pampa?

If you want to get out of the busy city for a day to see the beauty and tranquility of Argentine country life, then this is the day trip for you.
Most other “estancia day trips” (also known as “fiestas gauchas” or “dias de campo”) are organized in big groups, with busloads of tourists, delays, guides reading from a script in different languages, and a lack of personal attention. They’re tourist traps, and we would never recommend them.
This private and premium estancia day trip is refreshingly different. You’ll have the luxury and convenience of private round-trip transportation. Your own private guide will then treat you to a personal tour around the quaint colonial town of San Antonio de Areco, before whisking you off to the most authentic working ranch in the area.
Your own expert guide will stay with you at the estancia and you’ll even have the chance to customize what you see and do to your own interests throughout. This is the best way to sample the Argentine gaucho lifestyle, with the benefit of a private local guide committed to ensuring you have a fantastic day.

“I was so surprised by our day in September with Guillermo & the estancia. Guillermo’s knowledge of the area & the gaucho culture was more than the translation of text from a history book. His pride in his culture was evident in every single word, it was more like the telling of a love story.
 
I’ve owned horses for most of my life, worked in a riding school & ridden in many. The estancia that we visited had the most well behaved & well cared for horses in any that I’ve ever seen. They were fat, healthy & happy.”

Private Estancia Day Trip Highlights

 •  Visit a traditional local pulperia (gaucho bar) – the oldest of its type in Argentina.
 •  Take a leisurely horseback ride around the beautiful grounds of an authentic ranch. For those who prefer, horse-drawn carriage rides are also available.
 •  Enjoy a huge, authentic asado (Argentine barbecue) with only the best cuts of meat,  raised either on the ranch or the adjacent farm. The asado usually includes chorizo (sausage), morcilla (blood sausage), bife de chorizo (sirloin steak), costillas (ribs) and lomo (tenderloin). And lots of red wine! (Non-alcoholic beverages also available)
 •  Watch gauchos demonstrate their guitar and horseback skills, including a unique display of tricks with the horses that will leave you enthralled.

Testimonials for Camino Pampa

“My boyfriend and I recently spent the day with Guillermo visiting San Antonio de Areco and had one of the most informative and interesting days. I am a teacher and always looking for a tour based in history and Guillermo offered all that and more. The whole time he gave us interesting stories of the area and introduced us to many of the locals. The whole tour was very personal.
 
We got to watch the meat get prepared along with an explanation on Argentine cooking. We then ate a very delicious and plentiful meal. There was tons of meat (sausage, chicken, and steak) along with wine, dessert, and coffee. After our meal we got to listen to a delightful music display from Gaucho Oscar. I have to say this has probably been my favorite experience while traveling.”

“We generally don’t like doing tours and prefer exploring ourselves when traveling. However, we are SO glad we chose to visit San Antonio de Areco and the El Ombu estancia with you. It was informative, personal and enjoyable and felt like we were traveling with another friend. We would recommend Camino Pampa and Guillermo to anyone traveling to Buenos Aires. Not to be missed!“
