Located outside of Buenos Aires, Estancia Don Silvano is a popular destination for tourists. On a day trip to this ranch, visitors may get a glimpse of the gaucho culture of Argentina, where cowboys, or gauchos, are known for their amazing equestrian skills. Horseback and carriage excursions, singing shows and folk dances during lunch, ring races, square races, and boleadora demonstrations are just some of the things that take place.

You will ride in a carriage, learning about the legacy of the Italian Silvano, and then you will learn how farmland is worked on board a tractor.
At lunch, you will enjoy a BBQ with typical salads and drinks to suit all preferences. Then, a delectable dessert. Meanwhile, enjoy a live show that incorporates all of Argentina's rhythms, including folklore and tango. Then, back in the field, a display of the best Creole talents involved gauchos and horses.
While taking advantage of the ranch's amenities, such as the soccer field, kids' games, and pool in the summer, you will have a traditional afternoon snack of mate and fried cakes.

Good to ideal period to travel, and many people choose to visit at this time.
Chance for unpredictable weather but with fewer visitors.
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.
