Description
We travel 120 kilometers away from Buenos Aires to enter the land of the gauchos. We will first stop at  San Antonio de Areco, a colonial village that preserves the gaucho traditions to their full. There we will visit the main square and the old beautiful church, which dates from 1753, and then Dragui´s workshop, the most famous silversmith in Argentina.

Next, we head towards the Areco River, where we find the Ricardo Güiraldes Gaucho Museum. There we can see a replica of an 18th century ranch. The museum displays weapons and gaucho garments, as well as books, paintings and other objects that belonged to the writer Ricardo Güiraldes, author of the famous book “Don Segundo Sombra”.

We will spend the rest of the day at a ranch. There we will have a tasty asado (barbecue) with very good Argentine wines for lunch, and enjoy the typical countryside activities.
