Enjoy a day trip to San Antonio de Areco, the town of the famous Argentinean gauchos or cowboys, from Buenos Aires. A local guide will lead this activity and together with him you will visit an authentic ranch, called El Ombú de Areco, where you will enjoy a horse riding and gaucho wrestling show.

In addition, you will be able to take a horse or carriage ride. You will also enjoy an exquisite Argentinean barbecue, some sausages, cheeses and traditional drinks.

You will take a guided tour through the town of San Antonio de Areco and its historic centre, where you will visit points of interest such as:

• Draghi Museum: it houses a large collection of rural goldsmith elements from the 19th century. You will be able to be a participant or spectator of the elaboration of the goldsmith pieces.

• San Antonio de Padua Parish: the first oratory centre in the area founded by Don José Ruiz de Arellano and built between 1720 and 1728. A historical jewel.

• Boliche de Bessonart Bar: it was one of the places visited in ancient times by the peasants to buy groceries and drinks. It was also a recurrent stop for the famous gaucho Don Segundo Ramirez, who was later a character in the novel Ricardo Güiraldes.

To guarantee a complete and comfortable experience from start to finish, the activity includes transfer to and from hotels in downtown Buenos Aires in areas such as Palermo, Recoleta and others.
