Horseback riding vacations in Argentina

Estancias, Tango, Criollo horses, Patagonia & Pampas

Argentina has, arguably, the tastiest beef, the sexiest dance, the best-looking people, some of the cutest penguins, the highest peak and the most cosmopolitan city in South America - and definitely some of the best horses and polo players in South America.
Add to that its vast plains and deserts, glistening lakes, thundering glaciers and the greatest waterfalls on Earth, and you have a destination with immense potential. Just as important, Argentina is emerging from a dark and tangled period in its history—its government and economy are becoming more stable. So it’s little wonder that this beautiful country is becoming a hot spot for travelers.

The capital city Buenos Aires is the center of the country in all ways except its geographical location. With the Rio de la Plata, in the east of the country, it is actually the city that is closest to the Old Continent, and probably the most European city in South America.
Behind Buenos Aires, the land of the Pampas begins. Many towns with historical centers that go back to colonial are worth visiting. In the west, the Andes mountains offer great outdoor opportunities. Patagonia, the far south of Argentina is a rugged and cold land. The area around Ushuaia, southern most city of the country, is mild in October to May. It is great for the lovers of nature and wildlife; big glaciers that go directly into the Barney, birds, seals and other arctic animals abound.
In the northwestern corner of this dreamed land, deserts and steppes are the most common geographical sites; and in the northeastern part of the country, Iguazú Falls, complete all kinds of climate existing on the Earth... all in one beautiful country.
The people are awesome, full of kindness - at least most of the time ;) -, and the weather is mostly pleasant all the year. Many people call this the Paris of the Americas.
Every country seems to have its own unique foods and Argentina is no different. You will be hard pressed to go anywhere in Argentina without seeing someone carrying a "mate" (wooden cup) and "bombilla" (metal straw) with "yerba mate" drink (a local herbal tea) in one hand and a vacuum flask (Thermos) slung over their shoulder, ready to top up their mate when empty. Another strange obsession with the Argentine people is their love of ice cream. Locally made ice cream af great quality can be found all over the country in a variety of flavors. Remember to try dulce de leche (caramelized milk) flavored ice cream. You can also get dulce de leche spread to have on your toast. A must to try.

Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is one of the most European cities in South America. It is a very stylish city with many interesting buildings from the nineteenth century. It is also known as the South American Paris for its architecture and style. Don't miss the neighborhood of San Telmo. A run-down but appealing area halfway between midtown and the south end of the city, it is comparable to New York's Greenwich Village. Cobblestone streets here are rich with early 19th-century colonial architecture and mansions once inhabited by upper-class Spaniards.
If you are looking for some entertainment, Buenos Aires is your best choice. Many discos, a casino, plenty of bars... The night has no end in Buenos Aires. And of course the Tango shows and the “Opera Pampa" Horse Opera are not to be missed.
There are countless things to see and do in this passionate city including San Telmo, Ricoletta, el Teatro Colon, La Casa Rosada, Plaza de Mayo.

Opera - Pampa - Horse Opera
The horse has been an important part of Argentina's history and culture and the inseparable partner of the gaucho - the inhabitant of the Pampa.
Accordingly, this show, through the combination of amazing artistic expressions, presents memorable scenes depicting the traditions, the music, the dances, the culture, the dexterity of the Argentine horsemen, and the powerful beauty of their horses.
Opera Pampa is dynamic and uninterrupted succession of fascinating scenes portraying different historical times and memorable events in the history of the Americas and mainly in history of Argentina.
The show integrates different artistic expressions: folklore dances, musicians, singers, equestrian displays, fixed and moving stages, live and pre-recorded music and songs, and light and sound effects, among others.

Tango Shows
No doubt one of the great attractions of Buenos Aires is the dance wich made it famous: The Argentinian Tango.

Some bars and clubs specialize in tango performances, offering guests a phenomenal show.
