Following this, a visit to a local chocolate shop offers a delightful contrast. These brief stops highlight Areco’s enduring craftsmanship and delicious local specialties.
- Parroquia San Antonio de Padua - Situated on Segundo Sombra Street, between Alsina and Arrellano. Don José Ruiz de Arellano established the first oratory at the heart of his estate. This oratory’s foundation was crucial for the town’s development. Between 1720 and 1728, the first chapel was constructed, slightly to the right of the current location. The foundation stone of the present church was laid on February 7, 1869, and was buried beneath the central entrance door. Inside, a lead box containing original records on parchment, newspapers of the day, medals, and coins of the era was placed.
- San Antonio de Areco - Head to an Estancia in Buenos Aires located in San Antonio de Areco. Here, enjoy horseback rides while savoring traditional cold cuts, cheeses, and beverages.

Escape from the real world - Really enjoyed the day
It was a bit of a trek from our central Buenos Aires hotel & quite a bumpy ride, but well worth it
We were in a small group of 8 with a really decent host (Nicolas) who really looked after us
After our short horse riding experience we were treated to non stop bbq food & drink in an idilic location - you really feel you are in the middle of nowhere
Definitely recommend

It was the best experience so far. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. - From the time we were picked up till we were dropped off the guide kept us engaged in the history and fun facts about the area. At the ranch she was able to encourage all of us to participate in an activity that was fun and hopefully can take back share with our families.

Great day in the pampas! - Great day at the Dueñas Estancia with Maxi, the best driver, and Victoria, a knowledgeable and friendly guide from the pampas region. Enjoyed the drive in a comfortable van, San Antonio de Acero town square stop, estancia lunch, and the dancing and horse shows were wonderful. I am gluten-intolerant and the estancia offered me delicious gluten-free cheese empanadas, as well as bread and sweet-treat alternatives.

Must Do Gaucho Day in the Country - This day was one of the highlights of our trip to Buenos Aires! The horseback riding, music and dancing were amazing, but the food and drinks were outstanding. This is a must do event if you are visiting the area!

A day at an estancia, not to be missed! - Our guide, Victoria, was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and interesting and ready to share her passion about Argentina. Couldn't have been better and she really made our day extra special. Maxi our driver arrived exactly on time and the day went like clockwork. The stop at San Antonio de Areco was an unexpected bonus! I enjoyed everything and ended the day full of delicious food and a lot more informed than when I started! 10 out of 10!

This was a great tour to... - This was a great tour to learn about Argentine culture.
Because of a strike near our hotel, it took quite a long time to pick up guests from other hotels, and we felt a bit sorry about that.
The explanation about Argentina on the bus was very interesting. It made us like Argentina even more.
During the meal, it was fun to talk with people from different countries. We were also able to try horseback riding and learn some traditional dances, which made it a great way to experience Argentine culture.
(The portion of BBQ was a little small.)

Argentine Country Life - We were picked up from our hotel in Buenos Aires and driven to the venue. At the half way point, we stopped for coffee in a village where our driver and guide shared historical and cultural aspects of life in rural Argentina.
When we arrived at the farm, we were taken on a tour of a very nice facility. We enjoyed empanadas before a carriage ride. Had we been interested in riding horses, we could have done so.
After a. lunch of salads and several delicious barbecued meats, a group of musicians played folk music accompanying dancers.
The day was lovely and represented rural life in Argentina.
