We had a fantastic day visiting Estancia El Ombú de Areco. We were picked up by Marcelo who was fantastic - super friendly, extremely knowledgeable and flexible to anything we wanted to do. We didn’t feel rushed at any of our stops throughout the day and everything was super smooth. Huge thank you to Marcelo for a wonderful day out

Great experience however a little more time in town would have been appreciated. Even an additional 10 minutes (there has to be has to be more to the town than just Draghi museum)
