The Argentinean Pampas

"Argentina"

The seemingly endless grasslands, dotted with lakes, ponds and wetlands called the Pampas, are home an abundant variety of wild and birdlife as well as to the gaucho, the local cowboys and true symbol of the independent, lonely free spirit of the mestizo population. A stay in one of the legendary Estancias provides you with the opportunity to learn more about the early history, development and traditions of the country and a chance to rub shoulders with the gauchos and with the families that own the Estancias.
Why not enjoy a taste of the Pampas in the proximity to Buenos Aires, while staying at an authentic Estancias, learn everything about their origin and history, appreciate gaucho lore and dexterity in cattle and horse management and try some of the exquisite regional foods, especially the empanadas (turnovers) and delicious asados (barbecues, where even the most unthinkable parts of the cow are grilled), while enjoying local music and dance.
