A late-morning bus leaves Buenos Aires and, within an hour, the city’s flat skyline gives way to wide grassland and the distant roofs of Capilla del Señor. Sun hits corrugated roofs, and the air shifts—drier, dusted with smoke from nearby parillas. At the estancia a gaucho welcomes travelers with empanadas and a poured glass of Malbec; horses stamp impatiently, and a shaded pool invites a slow afternoon.
