History
Estancias are the rural foundation of Argentine gaucho culture—large cattle ranches that shaped land use, music and dress in the 19th century; tango draws influence from both urban ports and rural milongas.
Conservation
Estancias rely on pastoral land management; visitors should stick to marked paths, avoid feeding livestock, and minimize waste to reduce impact on grazing areas.
