Estancia Day: Gaucho, Horseback Ride & Asado
Argentina's countryside tradition, behind closed doors: a day at an estancia in the Andean foothills with a horseback ride alongside baqueanos, a criollo asado paired with Malbec and the folklore of the chacarera.
The most traditional side of Mendoza, far from the wine and the crowds: a day in the countryside at an estancia in the Andean foothills, the gaucho way. A horseback ride with baqueanos, criollo asado and folklore, all in private service.
An adult immersion in Argentine countryside culture —horses, fire and chacarera— designed for those looking for something different from a winery day.
