Touristic Argentinian Ranch Don Silvano

When you arrive at the estancia (ranch), your day of gaucho fun begins with a friendly welcome reception including empanadas, wine and juice. Visit some of the ranch’s attractions, and then, watch the gauchos saddle up the horses, and take off on a leisurely horseback ride through the countryside.

Trip to an Estancia

I had such a fun day out! It was thrilling! There was horseback riding, horse carriage ride, a huge asado lunch and lots of snacks throughout the day! The traditional Argentinan song and dance performances were captivating! The gaucho skill demonstrations were breathtaking! All the staff and gauchos executed perfect hospitality! Completely 100% highly recommended!
