The foundation stone of the present church was placed on February 7, 1869 and was buried under the central entrance door. Inside it was placed a lead box containing the original records written on parchment, newspapers of the day, medals and coins of the time.

  The place was okay, not great ! The tour inside the small ranch is not handicapped accessible. The tourist guide was very friendly and spoked good enough English The food wasn’t good or what I expected from a “ESTANCIA “The Malbec wine was weak. Not recommended! I do recommend the tour guide “ Florencia” was awesome.

  Outstanding trip! Very memorable cultural experience including singing and dancing, horseback riding around the Argentinian countryside, hearing about relevant history, sampling local foods, and an impressive display of horsemanship. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get the most out of their trip to Buenos Aires!

• 5Gaucho Culture!

  Great experience! This was such a fun day, our guide Orianna was fantastic and the events were perfect. The farm is beautiful, the horses were impressive, the lunch was top notch and we even learned how to dance like a gaucho. This is a great cultural experience.

• 4Lovely but had medical issue…

  Lovely family ranch with nice staff. Everything was expected and the details for the experience are exactly what you get. Wine, food, animals, lunch, a folklore show, horseback riding, and dancing. We really enjoyed everything and the ranch operators were kind and accommodating. The tour guide was wonderful too. We enjoyed the short stop in the town to shop and buy chocolate before moving to the ranch. With that said, I must share that my 13 year old son was very ill after we returned home and diagnosed with Shiga toxic E Coli. My son touched all the animals and ate the meat meal at the ranch. It’s the only thing in our trip and timeline that would expose him (a serious bacteria that incomes from undercooked meat or contact with animals) He was hospitalized for 4 days within days of being at the ranch.
