"THE TROPEROS AT A GALLOP"
THE ORIGINAL ESTANCIA - To- ESTANCIA RIDE
"Inspired by Heritage"
When heritage becomes inspiration, it becomes unique.
Born in loving memory of the historic cattle drives, when our grandfather José Luis Cometta’s gauchos used to bring cattle from his various Estancias to La Rosita for the annual family auction.
Others may try to replicate it, but here, you will be riding the truth.
IN THE PAST
Our grandfather’s gauchos—the troperos—spent days driving large herds across the countryside. Just as it is today, the horse was their most vital companion, and neighboring estancias always provided these weary riders with a warm meal and a place to rest.
AT PRESENT
The historic routes, the untamed landscapes, and the spirit of adventure remain exactly the same.
However, the hospitality, gastronomy, and comfort have been elevated to a premium level.
