You will get to see how a craft chocolate shop works and learn the history of the town before you reach the Estancia.Argentina is well known for its vast farmlands. Since the country´s formal organization as a national entity in the second half of the 19th century, it followed an agricultural and livestock export model of development with a large concentration of crops in the fertile Pampas.

Once on the farm, you can take a ride on the horses or go for a ride in a sulky, 2-wheeled cart, while enjoying a buffet of traditional cold cuts, cheeses and beverages.

At lunchtime the group will enjoy a typical country-style barbecue prepared using only the finest quality meats. Dessert is accompanied by a folklore show, which is followed by a demonstration of gaucho skills.

This whole package will give you an outlook on the Argentinian countryside and its history.
