Day 3 BUENOS AIRES


Today is free to explore this extraordinary city. Consider an optional excursion to visit a traditional estancia (ranch) to experience the lifestyle of the gauchos. Alternatively, cruise down the Tigre River surrounded by beautiful landscapes and impressive homes.



INSIDER PICKS
Estancias date back to the 16th century during Spanish colonization when conquistadors were gifted land to raise and breed cattle. Today, these lands and traditions that go along with them have been passed down from generation to generation. Today, you have the chance to step into the traditional, local life of a gaucho and embrace Argentinean heritage during an optional trip to a traditional estancia.
