Argentine Estancias
For many of our travelers, a trip to Argentina would not be complete without a visit to an Estancia. Whether you want to just stop by for a day or relax for an entire week, an Argentinean Estancia is just the thing.
Estancias are generally 19th Century ranches that have been modernized and renovated to provide a contemporary yet traditional experience. In some instances, the ranches are styled in an English or French motif with luxuriously furnished rooms and amenities of a five star hotel; other ranches maintain a rustic design with an old-world charm.
Enticing Estancias exist throughout Argentina, including ones around Iguazu Falls, Buenos Aires, Patagonia, and the Andes. The milieus of Estancias are just as varied as their locations with some having contemporary designs and others embodying an outback, cowboy feel. Visitors are encouraged to join in daily ranch activities including cattle herding and animal branding; horseback riding, excursions to view the wildlife and flora and fauna, and croquet or bocce ball are just a few of the activities offered. Each Estancia has its own unique spirit, cuisine, and entertainment, usually depending on its location (fishing near rivers, sea creature watching near the ocean, etc.).
For those who are interested in the culture and people of Argentina, or would like to visit the natural beauty of the countryside, or just want to lounge and experience Argentinean food, a visit to an Estancia makes a wonderful addition to your experience. For information abour recommended estancias, contact us by email (info@latitudeworldtours.com) or call our Argentina desk (866.949.9940 x701). –Raul L.
