Description
Argentina is the cradle of the gaucho tradition, and Estancia Santa Susana keeps that heritage alive in an authentic and memorable experience. Located in a historic rural setting, this 1,200-hectare ranch combines its agricultural activity with welcoming national and international tourism, inviting visitors to discover the customs of the Argentine countryside.
Founded at the end of the 19th century by Francisco Kelly, a descendant of Irish immigrants, the ranch was named Santa Susana in honor of his wife, Susana Caffrey. Today, its landscapes, buildings, and traditions recreate the spirit of the rural past.
The experience begins with a warm welcome at the general store, where empanadas and wine are offered. During the visit, there will be free time to explore the museum and chapel, and enjoy rides in antique carriages and sulkies, which transport you to another era of the Argentine countryside.
The typical Argentine lunch includes traditional dishes, dessert, and drinks, served in a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. After the gaucho skills demonstrations, everyone shares a classic pastry accompanied by mate cocido (a type of herbal tea), completing a day filled with local flavors.
The day concludes with a spectacular tango and folklore show, featuring malambo with boleadoras (a type of dance) and a demonstration of traditional Argentine skills, such as ring races, horse roundups, and traditional horse races. An authentic celebration of gaucho culture, ideal for experiencing the soul of the Argentine countryside firsthand.
