Spend a private day at La Guapeada outside Pilar: morning mate and stable tours, a rural asado lunch, hands‑on polo instruction and a participatory chukka as the Pampas slips toward sunset. Practical, immersive and accessible for most fitness levels.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive down a gravel drive as the pampas opens—wide, low light spilling across clipped grass and the distant posts of a polo field. Horses shift in their stalls; the smell of fresh mate and grilling empanadas threads through the air. By midday the club hums with purposeful motion: grooms tending tack, riders walking ponies, and the sun angling toward the horizon where La Guapeada’s fields flatten into a soft, copper line.
