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!

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 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.

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.
