Gauchos, Falls And Wine

Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel and you will have the rest of the day to enjoy at your own pace (private service - guide included). Buenos Aires is a marvelous, furious, cosmopolitan city, full of plenty of colours and different kind of architecture. Capital of Argentina and described as the Paris of South America, Buenos Aires proudly embraces this title, as well as showing off plenty of its own culture! Argentines are usually eager to host visitors: if you walk the streets with a map, someone will surely stop and ask if you need directions. That’s our spirit! So, for this first day, be free to wander the cobblestone streets lined with outdoor cafes, enjoy the mouthwatering aroma of prized Argentine beef sizzling on an open “parrilla” (barbecue), and browse the local antique and artisan markets that offer plenty of bargain shopping. And to travel deeper and have a firm grip of the Argentine spirit, find the perfect leather jacket or handbag (Buenos Aires is home to some excellent local designers) and explore the colorful Palermo Soho neighborhoods.

In the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel to enjoy our City Tour (shared service). Over the course of a half day you will have the chance to visit the historical and political centre of the city; San Telmo with its cobblestone streets, La Boca where Buenos Aires turns colorful and tango is ever present, and the chic and aristocratic Recoleta, where the big palaces remind us that Buenos Aires was once the Paris of the South. In the evening you will go on your own from your hotel to one of Buenos Aires’ most emblematic cultural highlight’s; a Dinner and Tango Show offering a spectacular demonstration of the finest local dancing accompanied by delicious Argentine cuisine and all the malbec you’d like (shared service). At the end of the evening you will be driven back to your hotel.

Today you will be picked up from your hotel to enjoy an authentic day in the countryside at an exclusive estancia in San Antonio de Areco (shared service). Learn about the gaucho culture and traditions, strolling around the beautiful old streets, museums and ancient pulperías (grocery stores) at San Antonio de Areco town before heading to the El Ombú. Once there, enjoy a typical asado (barbecue) before a detox horseback riding in the nature or a relaxing bike ride. For the bons vivants, there is a peaceful swimming pool (only available in summer) and many relaxation areas to take a "siesta" (a nap). At the end of the day, you will be transfered back to your hotel in Buenos Aires. Note: For this tour, you need to bring your original passport. In summer, as the pool is available, we recommend that you also bring also a towel and a swimsuit.
