Gaucho Day Tour at Santa Susana with Buenos Aires Tours | City Tour | Food Tour

Just 77 kilometers from the energetic core of Buenos Aires lies Estancia Santa Susana, a sprawling 1,200-hectare ranch that traces its roots back to the late 19th century. Buenos Aires Tours offers an immersive Gaucho Day Tour to this historic estancia, inviting visitors to step outside the urban pulse and into the rugged traditions of Argentine ranch life. This full-day experience, lasting about eight hours, blends rich culture, outdoor activity, and authentic hospitality on a property renowned for its agricultural heritage and classic Spanish-style architecture.

The day begins with a convenient hotel pickup, setting the pace for an easy 90-minute drive through the pampas landscape to Santa Susana in Los Cardales. Upon arrival, guests are greeted in the pulpería—an old-fashioned general store—where savory fried meat and corn cream empanadas pair with local wines and refreshing beverages. The itinerary balances activity and relaxation: try horseback riding on the ranch’s open fields, trot along trails once used by gauchos decades ago, and visit the estancia’s chapel and small museum to understand the history embedded in the land.

Central to the experience is the spirited Gaucho show, where professional riders demonstrate traditional horsemanship skills like the sortija—ring races—and cuadrera—pole races. These performances illustrate the genuine lifestyle of Argentina’s legendary horsemen. A sumptuous asado lunch follows, featuring barbecued beef cuts, chorizo, and chicken paired with robust Argentinian wines, rounding out the day with culinary pride.

Buenos Aires Tours crafts this package to highlight an active yet accessible adventure—a rare chance to witness a living heritage, where culture and countryside converge. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or a curious traveler, this journey offers a unique glimpse into Argentina’s authentic outdoor traditions just outside the capital.
