Best trip I had in South America. Thank you Marcelo :) I highly recommend that tour! It was an amazing day! :) I wasn't sure, if I should do the tour because it was just me and the guide... But Marcelo, my guide, made the trip to one of the best experiences I ever had. Thank you so much! I had an interesting tour through the city San Antonio de Areco. Afterwards we went to the ranch (Estancia). The schedule was the same you see in the description. The riding was awesome (ca. one hour), the meal was delicious, the people on the ranch were very friendly, the landscape is a dream - what to say more...? :) Book that trip! It will be also an amazing experience for you! :)

Highlights

Get to see the natural views of the pampas
