Small Group Gaucho Day Tour to an Argentinian Ranch

Quick Details

• Hour Glass Duration: 9 Hours
• Calendar Availability: Daily
• Checkmark Tour Type: Small Group Public Tour

Explore the countryside of Buenos Aires and learn all about the gauchos and ranch life on the Pampas in an exciting full-day tour that includes visits to a historical rural town and silversmith museum, visits to a ranch, loads of food and wine, dancing, horseback-riding, gaucho horse skills display, and convenient pick-up and drop-off at your hotel/Airbnb/cruise port.

Tour the countryside and visit a typical Argentinian ranch:

In this exciting and fun-filled full-day tour our team of reliable and professional drivers and very passionate, informative, knowledgeable, and helpful tour guides with excellent English skills will take you in a small group of no more than 12 guests on an epic adventure into the world of the Gauchos (The men of the Pampas) and show you the beauties of Argentina’s countryside.

This tour is a good opportunity to get out of the city of Buenos Aires and into the Pampas (the vast flatlands of Argentina) to live a variety of unique experiences that complement what you can see and do in the capital city.

After hotels pick-up, you will leave Argentina’s largest city behind and dive into a completely different world on the way to San Antonio de Areco, a small town dating back to 1730 known as “the cradle of culture and tradition” in Argentina.

The drive out to the Pampas will go quickly as your tour guide will fill in details of life in Argentina and what to expect at the town and the ranch, bringing the landscape around to life with their live commentary providing history, geography, cultural facts, and information.

Once in Areco, you will get off the vehicle and visit the  Draghi museum  which is family-run and operated, featuring some of the best silversmiths in the world. This is the perfect place to learn about Latin American silverwork and get a deep understanding of the gaucho’s particular dress style and working tools.

After your visit, you will get back to the vehicle and head off to the ‘estancia’ (ranch), a beautiful and large property that operates as a farm focusing mainly on cattle-breeding and grain-growing.

Upon arrival at a ranch , you will be greeted with joy by the gauchos and served with  welcome drinks  and some of the best  ’empanadas’  (local pasties) you will eat in the entire world.

You will also have time to try some laid-back completely suitable for beginners  horseback-riding  or wagon-riding guided by the gauchos ensuring each rider’s safety, or if you prefer spend this pre-lunch time wandering around the ranch, enjoying the beautiful scenery and taking pictures.

We strongly suggest you “come to this tour hungry” as for lunch you will be treated to a real  Argentinean meat feast  featuring the national dish:  asado . You will be served a wide variety of grilled beef cuts, sausages, and other local treats, altogether with chimichurri sauce, salads, bread, and  freely flowed wine  (if you are vegan/vegetarian no need to worry as they also offer meat-less and vegan alternatives).  Dessert does not fall behind featuring different options served along with a cup of coffee (very much needed to stay up and engaged after so much food).

The afternoon begins with a  display of singing and dancing  from folk who live in this region, very different from Tango (found in the city), and if you are confident enough you can also give it a try and learn a couple of dancing moves to impress your friends and family when going back home.

To wrap up such a wonderful and authentic Argentine experience, one of the gauchos will delight you with a demonstration of how he tames his horse and the confidence they have in each other in an unconventional  horse whispering   demonstration  that is guaranteed to keep you spellbound. Without a doubt, the highlight of this tour.

This tour was a lot of fun. There were a number of different activities to enjoy throughout the day and yet it felt like a laid-back outing with friends. The food at the Estancia was plentiful and delicious. Florencia, Augustine, and our driver Jorge were excellent hosts. We highly recommend this trip!

We did 4 tours over our trip to Santiago and Buenos Aires and this was hands down the best experience for our family of 10. First off we had Pablo as our tour guide for the full day and he was nothing short of fantastic. His knowledge of Argentina as a whole and his comfort with our family which included 4 kids under 15 was amazing. The horseback riding was perfect for our family as many had never done it before so it gave you a great taste of what it was like without major risks. The lunch was a true Argentinian meat-eating experience outside under the shade of the huge trees. All I will say is come hungry. Wonderful day and would recommend this to anyone touring Argentina for the first time.

A perfect day on the pampas! We thoroughly enjoyed this visit to a local ranch to ride, eat delicious barbecue, enjoy some wine, and watch the gauchos perform amazing tricks on horseback! A must-do afternoon for anyone visiting Buenos Aires.

What an amazing day. From we were picked up in the morning from our hotel by Julieta, from signature tours, until we got back to our hotel this evening, we felt we were in great hands. Julieta gave us lots of information about the city and about the surrounding area as we left Buenos Aires and headed out to the ranch. The rain didn't spoil our day at this wonderful working ranch. We went horseriding, had some wine and lots of food, and were entertained by the Gaucho cowboys. We laughed and danced into the afternoon... This is a must for anyone travelling to Buenos aires.

Don’t miss this informative and fun-filled day! My son and I just returned from the trip and I just can’t say enough about the entire experience. Signature Tours provided a comfortable and immaculate vehicle with a super knowledgeable guide named Enrique. Enrique did an excellent job providing history, geography, cultural facts, and information. The tour at Draghi was very interesting and we met the silversmith and his wife. At the beautiful ranch, the horseback riding was great fun (Option to ride in a horse and buggy for those not interested in riding), the food was AMAZING and the music and dance were special. Overall, I would have given this 10 stars if possible.

La Paz to Buenos Aires: Andes & the Atacama Desert

Some of the hotels/hostels were not up to expected standard with cleanliness and amenities. We also had a 10 hour bus journey and didn't even see Salta before getting up early to fly to Buenos Aires. Apart from that very good itinerary and especially enjoyed the Salt Flats.

What people love about Buenos Aires Tours

We very much enjoyed our 4 Day Best of BA tour & the additional Gaucho Day at Don Silvano Ranch. We felt that we got a very good sampling of BA in the short amount of time we had to spend there. Our guides were excellent and we would recommend this tour to friends.

Just back home from South America, Santiago region in Chile and Buenos Aires in Argentina. Thanks to the very professional and warm services of our travel agent Bernard Bacle at Club Aventure Travel in Ottawa, Canada we tailored a made to measure trip to these two regions. Bernard Bacle arranged with a local partner Aborigen Tours to provide transfer and guide services all along our journey in Santiago (Chile) and region and Buenos Aires (Argentina). A huge part of the success of this trip was the use of guides to accompany my wife and I. Arriving in Santiago (SCL) we slept at the airport Holiday Inn. Then the following morning we were picked by a chauffeur Mario and guide Edmundo for two days to and from Valparaiso and Viña del Mar. Edmundo and Mario teamed up to give incredible service. They were so knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and completely at our service. The program they had in store for us was varied and included info on history, geography, social issues, culture, politics, and every subject we would find to discuss about. Back in Santiago we were taken on a ½ day tour and visited interesting venues. Then we transferred to Buenos Aires, Argentina where another guide Micaela and driver Rodrigo took us from the airport to our hotel. We had an unusual experience in the hotel since our room was broken into and the room safe was stolen; in fact it was put in my wife’s travel suitcase, meaning that not only did we loose an iPad and papers (that were placed in the safe) but also much of my wife’s clothing and accessories (ie camera spare battery and charger and more items). We contacted Micaela and she came to our rescue the very next day by accompanying us to two shopping malls to replace as much items as we could, since we were boarding a cruise ship on that day. When we came back to Buenos Aires at the end of the cruise, we had arranged with this same company to pick us at the cruise terminal and transfer us to the same hotel. It was then Gabriel the company owner that completed this task. Furthermore, he helped us negociate with the hotel to get them to refund all the belongings we had lost in this robbery. Finally, the hotel offered a good compensation and we continued shopping to replace every item once back home. We had another wonderful guided walking tour in Buenos Aires with Joëlle, very charming person and sooo knowledgeable and interesting. I can’t say enough about the total dedication to us by Aborigen Tours. Customer satisfaction is their number one priority and they, by far, exceeded all our expectations! Very professional, always on time, new and clean vehicles, very nice drivers and guides. Everything flowed smoothly! Excellent tour, services and attention from all the team Aborigen Tours. Thanks for making an amazing trip for us. We very warmly recommend both Bernard Bacle at Club Aventure Travel in Ottawa and Gabriel and his staff at Aborigen Tours in Argentina

Wow what a four. While relatively short, this was a great trip to see the highlights of Argentina and Brazil. There was a perfect amount of time at each location to take in the sights and we did it feel rushed at all. We did a bit of an add on and went to a tango show as well As both sides of Iguazú Falls and a jeep tour in Rio. All Were well worth it and I'm glad we added these on. The transfers and tour guides etc were first rate and everything was well organized. The tour team kept in daily communication amd confounded all our pick up times daily and when we had some minor provider issues they were very quick to rectify and make right. Everything for transfers , flights and a conflation was great. . Cannot talk more highly of this tour and the providers - Wandeful Holidays provide such a personalized service and you do not feel like another number . It was so assuring to know they were only a call or message away if we needed assistance and that gave us great peace of mind. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see the sights of Brazil and Argentina.
