If you're travelling to Argentina and want a simple and stunning way to experience the pampas area (and have loads of fun doing so), why not try heading to an estancia? Try out becoming a gaucho for a night to really add a little adventure and flavour to your Argentina travels and create an Argentina holiday with a difference. Lets' face it, who doesn't want to act like a cowboy for a few days, wear a Stetson, round up the cattle and eat freshly barbecued steaks?
A gaucho is an iconic image of Argentine life which is sadly dying due to modern day processes. Now, the remaining gauchos make most of their living through tourism, but this is great because it keeps alive the traditional culture of Argentina. Living life as a gaucho not only offers an awesome Argentina experience but it also really helps to keep the traditional Argentinian culture alive today.
A typical gaucho experience will usually involve a tour of the farm and surrounding land, horse rides (bikes usually available for the more nervous riders), a traditional dance show and of course what everyone has come to see, cowboy's showing off their skills of herding, rounding up the cattle and lassoing - they may even let you have a go! In the evening you can sit by a roaring fire and share stories of your Argentina travels with other travellers and hear tales about past cowboy days. All the while, you can tuck into chunks of fresh meat which is traditionally barbecued (the Argentines' really do know how to barbecue!). Last (but certainly not least), you can then wash your grub down with a glass of delicious Argentine red wine!
If you're not much of an 'out-doorsy' person then fear not! Although during this experience you do get a real taste of authentic gaucho life, you by no means have to 'rough it' in the great outdoors! The landowners back in the 19th century build large lavish farm houses to use as their weekend get-away and most have pools, gardens and lovely comfortable room individually decorated. So the experience is not just a lot of fun but also incredibly relaxing.
This really is an ideal way to spend a few days and most estancias are just a couple of hours away from Buenos Aires so are simple to get to as well during your Argentina travels.
So, grab your duffel bag and strap on your chaps for a few days of escapism!
