Pickup from your Hotel Begin your 9-hour tour with a drive from your hotel in Buenos Aires to the village of San Antonio de Areco. Enjoy views of the pampas en route and listen to commentary about the area from your guide. San Antonio de Arec Town Visit a traditional silversmith's workshop, where skilled artisans craft exquisite pieces like mates and belt buckles, preserving gaucho traditions. Afterwards, a stop at a local chocolate shop provides a sweet contrast. These two brief stops perfectly showcase Areco's enduring craftsmanship and delightful local treats. San Antonio de Padua Church The foundation of this oratory was very important for the creation of the town. In the years 1720 and 1728, the first chapel was built, it was located a little more to the right than the current one. The foundation stone of the present church was placed on February 7, 1869 and was buried under the central entrance door. Inside it was placed a lead box containing the original records written on parchment, newspapers of the day, medals and coins of the time. Make it to the Ranch! Make your way to the Estancia. At this place, you will have a chance to take rides on horses while enjoying some traditional cold cuts, cheeses and beverages. Then, you will enjoy a typical Argentinian barbeque of the finest meats. While you have dessert, you will be able to see a folklore show followed by a demonstration of gaucho skills.
