Visit the Cordoba region of Argentina with a stay at the historic Estancia Los Potreros - a working horse and cattle farm. Enjoy warm countryside hospitality and an authentic ranching experience as you immerse yourself in the Argentine Gaucho way of life.
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Fly to Cordoba today where you are met and transfer to the nearby estancia for your 3 night stay. Set in a beautiful reserve at the top of the Cordoba hills, the estancia dates from 1574 when it began breeding mules for use in silver mines in Peru. Today it is an idyllic retreat for horsemen and nature lovers. Enjoy an introduction to the estancia's day to day routine and settle in to comfort this evening.
Your time at the estancia is flexible to do as you like and a variety of activities are available to you. Choose from short horseback rides or polo events and lessons. Extend your stay to include an overnight-packing trip or plan to visit during a fixed polo week with events occurring everyday. Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in the estancia's routine, assisting the gauchos with moving horses, seasonal cattle drives, and other day to day tasks. For those interested in cuisine, the on-site chef is delighted to demonstrate traditional Argentine dishes from the farm kitchen, using many ingredients grown on the estancia's grounds. For the hiking enthusiast, explore the 6500 acres of rolling hills rich in bird and plant life. Those who would prefer to sit back and relax, a well-stocked library, fantastic wines, a nearby golf course or a pool await you.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
Jane was my ADVENTURE LIFE agent for the 2 months of helping me decide that this will be the most amazing trip we will ever experience in our lifetime and a memorable way to celebrate our 40th! Our expedition is upcoming later this year 2025.
I was also able to plan with Mike from Quark who was very instrumental in making our dreams come true at the right price!
Once I had decided to go ahead with my booking Kevin took over to assist Jane while on vacation.
Kevin was able to tweak my quote even more
who truly sealed the deal as well as reserved us a very desirable room on the 6th floor. I had studied reviews on line as well as and watched the numerous Ultramarine You Tube’s! He was extremely patient with receiving my full payment as it took time to “round up that much cash”. I decided on booking a balcony suite as it gave me more value for my “Canadian Dollar” than the delux balcony, so yes, I gave up my tub. It also really helped me justify the price. It’s really a priceless experience and its memories will last us a lifetime! I was happy to reserve on the 6th floor as I wanted those clear views and the choice of being able to open a door for fresh air, especially if the big green monster surfaces during the Drake Passage.
I now feel very confident and very satisfied that I have made the best decision choosing Quark Expeditions and look forward to a top notch experience aboard the Ultramarine!!
Both Jane and Kevin are sincere, professional and courteous. They met all of our needs
to ensure my process was stress free.
I’m looking forward to all our daily excursions, then enjoying a nice hot Sauna and finishing it off with nice a cold shower for health benefits…my back up plan
to doing the “Antarctic Plunge”
I look forward to getting to know and dealing with Mary Rose for all the final details that will make our trip complete. Great company!
