Debora, the tour guide, was great! Diego, the driver, was a safe driver. The Gaucho show was amazing! Brian's Gaucho performance with the horse at the end of the show was a great finale.
Authentic Argentinian ranch experience with real gauchos and a working ranch. The beef empanada snacks before our horse ride were the most amazing empanadas I’ve had! Save plenty of room because the lunch is an outstanding feast with many varieties of meat prepared many ways yielding such a superb meal! The traditional dance demonstration was heartfelt and beautiful and the horse whisperer was unique. The setting is peaceful and stunning. Highly recommended!
T was off! Evening called off Before that different gaucho tour but was really different, but no money back
The town was amazing with its old houses. There were many craftsmen and interesting to see their workshops and their work. After the town it became El Ombu Ranch, with mandatory horseback riding and a fantastic barbecue dinner...after dinner performance by local artists.
