This lovely excursion is an excellent opportunity to get in close touch with the Argentine Gauchos and traditional music and dances.

Today you'll visit the Estancia Santa Susana, situated in the countryside of Buenos Aires (Los Cardales, near Lujan)--the famous pampa of Argentina. The Estancia Santa Susana is the beautiful country residence of an old ranch.

Travel into the Argentine countryside to taste some great steak and see the famous Argentine gauchos. When you arrive at the Estancia, you'll be welcomed with typical empanadas. Stroll around on the farm, take a horse and carriage ride, visit the museum, or watch the gauchos preparing your barbecue. Called asado al asador, this meal consists of empanadas, homemade salame, chorizos (hot sauces), chinchulines, steaks, vacio, matambre, a variety of salads, and typical desserts. Coffee, red wine, beer, mineral water, and soft drinks will also be served.

At noon, everyone will sit down together for a barbecue lunch. Afterwards, gauchos will play authentic music and show how they used to dance in the pampa. Then you will hear hooves...the gauchos have mounted up, and, when they begin their displays of horsemanship, you'll have front row seats. Their skills seem almost unbelievable, but these men do almost literally live in the saddle. Riding for them is like walking for us!
