At lunch, savor an included Argentinian asado (barbecue) of scrumptious grilled meats, or opt for a vegetarian dish, accompanied by Argentinian wine.

Amazing Polo day, good food and horsebackriding

Argentina polo day
Absolutely awesome experience from start to finish. The whole day was incredibly well organized, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and they made learning about polo genuinely fun even as a complete beginner. Getting to ride the horses, learn how the game works, and actually play polo was such a unique experience. The food and drinks were great too, and the setting was beautiful. Everyone involved clearly loves what they do, and that made the day feel much more personal than just another tourist activity. One of the highlights of my time in Argentina and something I’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting Buenos Aires. 10/10 experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much!

Great day playing polo and eating barbecue
This was a great experience that taught my family a great deal about the history of Argentinian polo and about polo culture as a whole! The grounds of the polo field are beautiful and the lodging is refined and rustic. Our guide Bahador was an amazing host and taught us the fundamentals of both polo and horseback riding. We also got to watch a practice polo match with local professionals before eating a traditional BBQ lunch with the players and staff that was delicious, authentic and generous. We then got to ride our own horses which were gentle and responsive and even play a very simple polo game! Overall an amazing experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much!!

A fun experience.
It was a really fun experience. Our guide was great and spoke English well. We were greeted with empanadas and wine while sitting in front of a fire. Our guide showed us the gaucho museum. Then we watched a polo match and also practiced hitting balls with polo sticks. Next came the asado lunch. The food was excellent and plentiful! We ate family style with several of the staff. The conversation was interesting. After a rest in front of the fire we got on horses and practiced hitting polo balls which was fun. Then we rode around the property for awhile. After that we had ice cream and coffee in front of the fire and conversed with our guide. It was a great day.
Response from the operator: It was a pleasure having you with us! Thank you for coming! ❤️

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Polo Match, BBQ and Lesson Day-Trip from Buenos Aires: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Polo Match, BBQ and Lesson Day-Trip from Buenos Aires cost?
+
Prices start at $338 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 Polo Match, BBQ and Lesson Day-Trip from Buenos Aires take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Polo Match, BBQ and Lesson Day-Trip from Buenos Aires worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 463 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Polo Match, BBQ and Lesson Day-Trip from Buenos Aires?
+
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 Polo Match, BBQ and Lesson Day-Trip from Buenos Aires suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Polo Match, BBQ and Lesson Day-Trip from Buenos Aires?
+
Around 162 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Polo Match, BBQ and Lesson Day-Trip from Buenos Aires 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.
