If you have a free day in Buenos Aires and you want to do something completely different and exciting, this is a program that may suit you. We pick you up at your hotel at around 9 am and drive you to an exclusive estancia in the town of San Antonio de Areco, located 1:30 hs north from downtown. There we perform a horseback trek around the estancia with the aim of you to get to known how a ranch in Argentina works and enjoy the Pampas environment. Here you will have the chance to interact with the local “Gauchos” who will be able to tell you different aspects of the daily life of these mythical characters of the Argentinean tradition.

At around midday, we will go back to the main house of the estancia and enjoy a superb “asado” combined with excellent local wine. After we finish the meal, you can rest by the pool or sleep a well deserved “siesta” under an “Ombu” (typical Argentinean tree). At around 3 pm we leave the estancia and start our way back to the city. On the way, we make a short turn away and get to a small polo club, located in the town of Pilar, known world wide as the “Polo Capital”, for the enormous number of polo fields that you can find. Once there, we start with the “Polo Experience”. We will meet our instructor and the horses. After a short introductory talk where you will learn the basic rules, we will approach our horses and start with the lesson. Once you feel completely comfortable and safe with your horse we will provide you with a stick and start with the polo lesson, making it easy so that you can have a good time and learn the basic aspects of this sport. The duration of the lesson will be of around 2 hours and once we finish we will enjoy a tea with cookies and you will have the chance to try “Mate” the argentinean most traditional hot drink. No previous riding knowledge is required as we have horses for all the levels and everybody can try this experience. We only need you to be enthusiastic.
