    Great day in the countryside

    We had a really great day at the estancia! The gauchos were fantastic, and it was really nice to see their traditions. The horseback riding was definitely one of our favorite parts of the day, and the asado was amazing.

    Overall, it was a great...

    Overall, it was a great experience. The countryside environment was very calm and peaceful. It was my first time horse riding, and the staff was extremely helpful with that experience. I enjoy the folk dancing and music very much. I am a blind participant traveling on my own, and The tour guide Annahe was extremely kind, helpful, and attentive. She described everything to me in detail. The only issue I had was that there are a couple activities in the description of the strip that did not happen. We did not visit the chocolate factory and we did not visit the place where they make silver.

    Gaucho Culture

    A carnivore’s day of meat and Gaucho culture, presented by our wonderful local Gaucho lady guide. Horse riding, sulky ride, music and dancing. Highly recommended!

    Fabulous gaucho experience

    We had a fabulous day with Diego as driver and Facundo as our guide. We learned so much about Argentina, Gaucho history and then the estanza was so welcoming. The horses were well cared for, the food amazing- so much meat and tasty salads. The horse whispering was also impressive. I loved the young children gauchos too they were so confident dancing and riding.

    An authentic day trip

    I loved the authenticity of this experience. Our group was small and the farm we visited was wonderful. Las Dueñas' owners were hands on and welcomed us warmly. The stop-over in San Antonio town was a bit short and the chocolate factory is closed on a Tuesday. The afternoon was relaxing and interesting at the farm. We had fun dancing with the local dancers too. Our guide, Natalia, was friendly and professional and very informative. I would highly recommend this day trip.

    Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.

    How much does Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia cost?

    +

    Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Buenos Aires usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Buenos Aires is not rushed.

    Is Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Buenos Aires can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Buenos Aires and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Buenos Aires within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Buenos Aires?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Buenos Aires experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Argentine Cooking, Wine & Beef Tasting at Argentine Experience, Historical Sherpa Food Tour of San Telmo with Street Food, Drinks, Cooking Class with Empanadas Steak & Flan by Argentine Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Buenos Aires?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Buenos Aires?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia?

    +

    Included: Horse riding; Lunch; Professional Local Guide; and Pick-Up and Drop-Off. Not included: Gratuities; and Souvenirs (available for purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 452 listed pickup locations in and around Buenos Aires. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia if the weather is bad?
