Dia Gaucho - Traditional Argentinean Estancia in the outskirts of Buenos Aires
Description
Estancia El Ombú offers guided horseback rides throughout its 300 hectares, allowing you to ride through different groups of cattle and appreciate the beauty of the Argentine countryside, with its rich diversity of birds and local fauna. We have horses suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. For those visiting for a day in the countryside, horseback rides are available from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, with an approximate duration of one hour. We also offer sulky rides for those who prefer not to ride horses, as well as bicycles, hiking, bird watching, soccer and volleyball fields, and two large swimming pools. There are also recreational options such as table tennis, table football and board games, ideal for children and adults. The picturesque historic town of San Antonio de Areco is only 12 kilometers away from the main town. There, its museums and workshops of silversmiths and artisans keep alive the traditions of the gaucho culture, offering an experience that certainly deserves a visit during the tour.
