RIDING THROUGH THE ARGENTINEAN ESTANCIAS
IN THE PAST, our grandfather´s gauchos use to carry big troops of cows from his Estancias to the annual auction at La Rosita.
AT THAT MOMENT, as it happens nowadays, the horse was the most important working tool, and the estancias provided the “troperos -cattle drover" with a place to stay and a hot meal to have.
​AT PRESENT, the route and the landscape are the same, but, facilities, gastronomy and the service are far superior . .
​Adventure during the day. Comfort during the nights.
