Gaucho Party - Estancia Santa Susana
Discover the enchanting Gaucho culture and attend a typical “fiesta” at one of the many estancias that surround Buenos Aires. You will meet your guide at your hotel and travel approximately 1h to Estancia Susana where you will spend the day.
By the end of the last century, Mr. Francisco Kelly, of Irish ancestry, named these 1,200-hectare lands “Santa Susana”, to pay homage to his wife, Susana Caffrey. The estancia is located in the district of Campana, close to “Los Cardales” town, in the province of Buenos Aires.
During this tour, you will enjoy a guided visit of the the Spanish-colonial style “casco”, which holds an authentic museum of that period. Later on, you’ll experience the charm of the Argentine countryside, its wild scenery and aromas, with a sulky or horse ride.
You will be served a typical barbecue lunch comprising a variety of meats, salads, and vegetable, while enjoying a folklore show, with music and dances. The day will end with some typical regional games such as the “carrera de sortijas”, where two teams gallop at full tilt under a wooden arch and try to pass a pin through a small ring hanging from the arch.
