CLIENTS ABOUT US

Amazing day at the ranch in the area of San Antonio de Arco … totally not what I was expecting!

A wonderful experience with great food, beautiful atmosphere and a bit of Argentine history!! The people at the Estancia was very authentic and a pleasure to spend the day with!!

We’d a smooth transfer to the Estancia Ombú, where we had drinks and the best empañadas ever!
They have over 70 well-looked after horses, which we rode for about half an hour: love the comfortable saddle.
Next, the never-ending BBQ + wine, followed by a demonstration of folklore dancing which we were encouraged to emulate.
Finally, a horse whisperer showed how the Argentinians learnt to tame horses, which they’d never seen before the Spanish invaded, by calm, soothing movements.
We really enjoyed talking to the people of the Estancia about their country and customs and highly recommend them.

This was my 3rd visit with Camino Pampa, and it simple gets better each time. The professional guides and staff treat their guests to a look at classic gaucho life. The gorgeous estancia, the well-trained and groomed horses, the delicious meal, and authentic music and dancing truly create an unforgettable, hands-on Argentine experience. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Argentina!

Perfect day! This experience was a highlight of our trip.

After being picked up at our hotel we went to the historical Estancia.

At the estancia we rode houses, ate a feast, learned Gaucho dances and saw a demonstration of Gaucho skills. There was live music and performances.

My entire family had a great time.
