Stop At: Estancia El Ombu de Areco, RP 31, cuartel VI, Villa Lia, Buenos Aires San Antonio de Areco Argentina
Begin your 9-hour tour with a drive from your hotel in Buenos Aires to the village of San Antonio de Areco. Enjoy views of the pampas en route and listen to commentary about the area from your guide.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Museo Draghi, Calle Lavalle 387 Frente a la Plaza Principal, San Antonio de Areco B2760BME Argentina
Paradores Draghi is the ideal corner for those who enjoy the cultural attractions offered by a place. There you will access a tour through the sumptuous space where you can see a vast collection of pieces of rural goldsmithing of the nineteenth century, which reveals the mysteries of a period of national identity consecration of the figure of the Gaucho as a main character of that time.
In Paradores Draghi begin your journey through history not only as a spectator, but also as a participant in the process of making exclusive goldsmith pieces that take shape through the hands of artisans recreating the techniques of traditional goldsmithing as their founder, Juan José Draghi, did in the 60s.
Once you get to the town, you will enjoy a tour of the village including a walk around the historical downtown of the city.
Duration: 15 minutes

Located on Segundo Sombra Street, between Alsina and Arrellano. Don José Ruiz de Arellano founded the first oratory in the center of his stay. The foundation of this oratory was very important for the creation of the town. In the years 1720 and 1728, the first chapel was built, it was located a little more to the right than the current one. The foundation stone of the present church was placed on February 7, 1869 and was buried under the central entrance door. Inside it was placed a lead box containing the original records written on parchment, newspapers of the day, medals and coins of the time.

We really enjoyed our day at the estancia in San Antonio de Areco. The estancia was beautiful and everyone was given a choice of riding horses or in a carriage. The meal was very nice with plenty of choices for everyone. We really enjoyed the folk dancing and the gaucho exhibition. This was a wonderful, relaxing day in a beautiful setting in the country. Everyone was warm and welcoming. Would highly recommend this tour.
This tour was incredible- educational, fun, family based, with great food and drink, and a wonderful opportunity to experience a real side of Argentine life in the pampas! And the guide Pablo was simply amazing! He loves people; he loves interacting with the people on the ranch and educating. A+
It was a wonderful day! The food was amazing, and the gauchos and servers were jovial! I am a horseback rider however, and they stuck me with an older horse who could barely move! My partner and I would have loved to gallop through the fields together, but the tour guide thought I needed a tranquil horse. I was disappointed in that part. Everything else was great! Our tour guide told us many interesting things about Argentina as we rode on the bus, and we even shared some mate! I say don't miss this tour when in Argentina!
