Argentina - Buenos Aires - San Antonio de Areco
100% customisable for you
Overnight flight, arriving the next day.
After landing in Buenos Aires this morning, you will be privately transferred to the trendy district of Palermo. Stay in accommodation which exudes a sense of calm and elegance, with a beautiful garden, swimming pool and peaceful rooms. Immerse yourself in Palermo’s lively and colourful streets, filled with plenty of bars, restaurants and designer boutiques, knowing that you have a tranquil hotel to come back to.
Three days is plenty of time to get a sense of the Argentine capital. Begin your first full day here in a leisurely manner with a cortado (a hazelnut coffee) or a café con leche (a cream coffee) and watch the paseadores (dog walkers) wandering by. Stroll through the chic Recoleta district, in the bustling centre, and stop at the iconic plaza de Mayo for the Gran Café Tortoni and Avenida de Mayo. Discover the recently restored district of Puerto Madero, where the modern buildings tower above the city. Finally, take the time to immerse yourself in the neighbourhood of Palermo – lively during both the day and night – where restaurants and bars of all kinds stand alongside boliches (night clubs), which are buzzing until dawn. Experience a tango evening in a traditional milonga in the Barracas district, with the opportunity to soak up the timeless atmosphere of this popular dance. Other activities include exploring Buenos Aires in a vintage car from the 1930s or strolling through the capital alongside a local resident.
Private transfer to San Antonio de Areco, a two-hour drive from the capital, in the heart of Las Pampas. Three-night stay just outside of the village, in a Relais & Chateaux ranch. The property is vast and exquisitely old-fashioned, steeped in history and traditions. Everyone is welcomed as a friend here.
San Antonio de Areco has really preserved the gaucho spirit. This becomes particularly apparent at the Ricardo Guiraldes Museum, the author of the pinnacle of Gaucho literature, Dom Segundo Sombra (1926). Whether its horse riding or horse-drawn carriage rides, horses are essential to the lifestyle of local people and their guests. Listen to stories about the traditions of the land, mate (hot caffeine drink) calabash bowl in hand; to get a lesson on how to use bolas (a type of throwing weapon made of weights on the ends of interconnected cords), a lasso or a facon, a large knife which is also used for cooking. You may even catch a singing contest between payadores (itinerant singers). Go for a stroll through the ranch's huge park, or take to the tracks on horseback or by bike. A visit to the swimming pool and spa is also a must, especially for a hot stone massage.
