This is a family-owned farm that has begun to receive visitors to share the traditions, skills, music, and cuisine of the Argentine countryside and Gaucho heritage.

You'll get to be part of some of the most representative features of the gaucho culture, starting with a horseback ride, tasting the legendary asado argentino and empanadas, discovering rural music and dances (it's not just tango in Argentina! ), and closing with the display of the horse skills of actual working gauchos.
