The Same Gauchos Who Lead Your Ride Also Grill Your Asado.
Camino Pampa runs full-day trips from Buenos Aires out to San Antonio de Areco and Estancia El Ombú, one of the working ranches in the area. The day starts in the colonial town of Areco with a stop at a silversmith's workshop and a visit with a local artist, then continues out to the estancia, where the ranch dogs greet you at the gate and the gauchos take over — a horseback ride through the pampas, a full asado lunch with wine, and an afternoon of live folk music and horsemanship. I did this trip myself and wrote up the whole day on the blog — it's one of my favorite excursions outside the city.
What to Expect
-
Full-day trip from Buenos Aires: hotel pickup, a guided walk through the colonial town of San Antonio de Areco — including a silversmith's workshop — then transfer out to Estancia El Ombú.
-
A relaxed horseback ride or carriage ride through the pampas, led by real local gauchos. No riding experience needed.
-
A full Argentine asado lunch with wine, homemade chimichurri, and fresh salads, served family-style at the estancia.
-
The day closes with live folk music, dancing, and a gaucho horsemanship demonstration before the drive back to Buenos Aires.
