A compact small town nearly 70 miles northwest of Buenos Aires, San Antonio de Areco is in the heart of the Argentine Pampas region. It’s a great 1½-hour day trip by car or bus from Buenos Aires—or the perfect jumping-off point for those who choose to visit at a nearby estancia, or a traditional large rural ranch and estate. Major attractions here include the colonial sights of San Antonio de Areco itself, the Museum of the Gaucho (which celebrates Argentine cowboys), and a variety of estancias themselves, which are located within two hours of San Antonio de Areco. If you don’t feel like planning your own itinerary, several tour and travel companies will coordinate your visit and arrange your estancia stay.

Hola!!! I can't say enough great things about Pat. I took this tour solo and had the best time!!! He is a great historian, but more importantly I felt very comfortable with him one-on-one. He went above and beyond to make this one of the best tours that I have ever experienced. People will say that you can go on your own, DON'T-go with Pat and you will not only have the best experience, but see everything that El Tigre has to offer. You won't be disappointed, it was worth every penny!!!!!

The Staff was super efficient in communication in advance and made an effort to arrange things as good as possible. The estancia we visited was very beautiful, genuine and well-maintained. Everyone was kind and eager for us to have a great time. If you have horse riding skills, you can ask them to arrange a better horse to do some extra galloping around the fields. The horses are amazing! Juan, the “horse whisperer’, was like nothing I have ever seen before: complete control over a horse with just a gentle touch and his voice. Service and food were excellent, the estancia: a dream. I’m eager to go back and spend more time there. Asado was perfect, one of the best BBQ meals I had over 6 weeks traveling in Argentina. Highly recommend!
