Get picked up directly from your hotel and set a course for Argentina's sprawling pastoral landscapes, the pampas.

When you arrive, hop out and explore the village with your knowledgable guide. Listen to stories about the area's history as a meeting place for nearby gauchos, and then head to a local estancia for a thrilling performance and tasty lunch.

At La Estancia, immerse yourself in the rough-and-tumble lifestyles of these Argentine ranchers, taking the chance to ride a horse, snacking on cold cuts and cheese, and watching a spectacular performance of riding and roping skills. Wrap up your adventure with a freshly prepared barbecue lunch and then savour your scenic ride back to the city.
