De Buenos Aires: Excursão de um dia a um rancho e a um gaúcho

My wife and I had a wonderful time on this day trip, guided by Stella and driven by David. Stella was very informative on the journey about the history of the parts of Buenos Aires and the country that we were passing. We had a pleasant stop in San Antonio de Areco for photos then headed to the ranch. At the ranch we rode horses first, and my horse was just a little more lively than I would have liked as a novice rider! Nonetheless I always felt safe, and there is the option of a cart ride for people who do not want to ride a horse. There was then some entertainment with gauchos showing their considerable riding skills, followed by a sumptuous lunch with wine. Following that the gauchos entertained us with singing and dancing, and we were invited to join in the dancing. Then the bus trip back to Bs As, arriving around 1800. Overall a very enjoyable day. The mosquitoes are bad this year and were annoying, but insect repellent was available to us.

Unser Guide Yael und unsere Fahrerin Ronina haben mit uns eine sehr schöne Tour gemacht. Auf dem Hinweg gab es eine kurze Pause für Kaffee und die Möglichkeit in einem Shop Souvenirs der Gauchos zu kaufen. In San Antonio de Areco haben wir das Silbermuseum mit Werkstatt und die Kirche besichtigt. Danach ging es weiter auf die Estancia. Kutschfahrt und Reiten sind klassische Touri-Aktivitäten. Der Aufenthalt war aber sehr schön. Das Essen mehr als reichlich und sehr lecker. Auch die kleine Show der Gauchos war gut. Unser Guide hat uns sehr viel über Land, Menschen und das Leben in Argentinien erzählt. Man spürt ihre Freude an diesem Beruf.

Herman was our guide and he was beyond compare. Herman was very knowledgeable of the history and gave a very comprehensive explanation of the development of Argentina which enhanced our experience at Estancia El Ombu de Areco. The ranch was absolutely charming. I would HIGHLY recommend this experience.
