Short
Getaway while in Buenos Aires
- Chose from 2 to 5 nights
Let yourself experience the amazing opportunity to
discover the endless Argentine Pampas on the back of our
Creoles, the horses of the legendary Gauchos. These
Creole horses have a strong pace, steel nerves and a
high endurance. They are known to be a quiet partner
with a high performance. Our horses are kept in herds
at the meadows and are friendly to all levels of riders.
Whether you are a beginner or highly-experienced, we
have the ideal partner to ride and enjoy the
unsurpassable adventure of “Riding as a gaucho”.
You can experience that famous picture showing the
lonely rider followed by his faithful dog while you ride
at sunset. Our horses are ridden following the typical
Argentine custom to work in the countryside, which means
only one hand to hold the reins with the bit. They react
to the smooth pulls of the reins and movements of your
body weight. Most of our saddles are typically used for
work (rugs, horse-ball, Chilean).

Here are some
of the examples for the riding excursions:
Exploration Ride
This ride offers a first glance of
the Argentine pampas and provides confidence on how safe
it is to ride our horses. We ride on nearby and vacant
paths and pass by haciendas and small granges.
Ride towards Espora
Espora is a small and lovely village nearby where a
small train station marks the meeting point for
neighbors and a place to refill canteens. It is also a
place where visitors are met by the maintenance worker
of the historical buildings who will wait for us with
some beverages and a quick meal (picada).
Ride to Videka blood-horse stud farm
Our friends, who are owners of
the stud farm, invite us to share a typical English Tea
in a high-style atmosphere.
Franklin
Our path leads us to quiet ranches
where animal cattle can be seen grazing on green
meadows.
In Franklin, some delicious
specialties from our kitchen wait for us. After a short
break, we make our way back.
Ride towards Tuyutí
As Espora, Tuyutí has a quaint
train station. Nevertheless, Tuyutí is far from traffic
roads and “in the middle of nowhere”. During this ride
we trot and gallop following the short gait, typical of
the Creole horse.
Thus we can admire the strength,
performance and endurance of these horses while we enjoy
the beautiful landscape. We take supplies in saddlebags
and stop for a picnic under a shaded tree along the way.
A typical day on a
cattle-ranch
Getting to know how the gauchos work: gathering the
cattle, working the corrals (vaccination, brand mark,
etc.).
