Located in the birthplace of the gaucho traditions, Estancia Ombu de Areco offers 9 spacious and modernized bedrooms with private bathrooms, large windows and a variety of period furniture. The main house is surrounded by a covered gallery typical of the late-Colonial period, tiled floors, and steps that lead into the gardens.

El Ombu provides all the comforts required by guests and is coupled with kind and personalized attention by staff to provide a wonderful stay against the backdrop of the big-sky beauty of the Argentine pampas.

Guests can explore the 300-hectare estancia on foot or on one of the horses that are part of the working drive. Guests can also choose to go bird watching and view some of the thousand species of Argentinean birds, complete with binoculars and guidebooks from the estancia. Other recreational activities include:

-swimming pool with solarium
-ping-pong and metegol (tabletop game of foosball)
-volleyball and football
-bicycle rides
-golf and tennis at a country club only 15 minutes away from the estancia

Available through special request, guests can view gaucho folk dance troops, local music groups as well as creole horse-back skill events, such as sortija races, horseback sprints, bullock lassoing and hog-tying.

Jane was a pleasure to work with and was very responsive and knowledgeable. She took time to understand what my priorities were, and to answer all my queries and make adjustments to create a bespoke tour for me. We worked together to plan out a trip which I am so excited about! I usually travel independently and make my all own travel arrangements but I am so happy with the travel plans I have made with Jane for my South America trip, as this time I will be travelling solo and I have never travelled in the region before. 5 stars and much gratitude!
