CLIENTS ABOUT US

The tour with Laura was absolutely incredible! We’ve been in Buenos Aires for a week, and this experience was a true highlight of our trip. We began the day in the charming town of San Antonio de Areco with a delicious wine, meat, and cheese tasting at Cerdo Rojo. The sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive.

Afterward, Laura guided us on a lovely walk through the town, before we headed to the ranch. The ranch experience was so much fun from start to finish! It included a traditional asado barbecue (7 courses of meat), empanadas, the opportunity to go horse riding, and traditional music and dancing.

Everything was perfectly organized, immersive, and thoughtfully curated. I couldn’t recommend it more!

10/10 experience exploring a local town and working ranch with Laura!

She had a lot of pride in her hometown and it made the experience of her sharing some local favorites with us all the more special. And the ranch experience was great all-around.

It was in a beautiful setting, had unbelievable food and wine, and they made learning about the local way of life a ton of fun.

Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to get out of the hustle and bustle of Buenos Aires and take in some Argentine culture.

A lovely day in gaucho country: What a great way to close out our trip to Buenos Aires. From the great pickup at our hotel to the tour of San Antonio de Areco and finally the Estancia for a horse ride and full Argentine grill (so much meat), my wife and I had a lovely experience. Guillermo was a gracious and attentive host and catered to each of us personally. I had a great day learning the area and culture and Guillermo promised with much work, I might one day be a gaucho. Thanks for the hospitality! Highly recommend.

Our visit to Camino Pampa was just the experience we were hoping for on our last day in Buenos Aires.

The tour, food and opportunity to dance were very welcome as was the music and talented show put on by the gaucho and guitar player.

If you only have a few days in Buenos Aires and would like an experience that is authentic and out of the city , a full day with the Camino Pampa folks is worth the expense.

A day in a Gaucho Tour in Buenos Aires

My gaucho tour started early with a comfortable pickup from Buenos Aires. The drive to San Antonio de Areco was the perfect chance to relax and enjoy the changing scenery — from city life to the wide-open fields of the Pampas.

Once there, I explored the charming  gaucho town, where I got a real sense of local culture and history. Then came the horseback ride — it was my first time riding, but the guides were patient and made it easy for everyone to enjoy. Ride a horse with a gaucho in La Pampa was an amazing experience.

Later, I visited local artisans and saw how they create beautiful handmade leather goods and traditional crafts. From there, we toured a working cattle ranch (estancia), where I learned about daily life on the estancia and met the skilled gauchos who care for the land and animals.

The midday highlight was lunch: a delicious Argentine asado with perfectly grilled meats, chorizo, empanadas, and fresh salads — all enjoyed outdoors with new friends.

To finish the gaucho day trip in Buenos Aires, we watched a lively folk music and dance performance, and then a thrilling demonstration of the gauchos’ incredible horsemanship. It was amazing to see how in sync they were with their horses.

By the end of the day, I felt like I had truly experienced the soul of Argentina — nature, tradition, good food, yerba mate and warm hospitality.
