Gastronomic Buenos Aires

Upon arrival in Quito, you will be met and transferred to your hotel where your local representative will assist you with check-in, help with luggage, and provide you with details regarding your itinerary.

Enjoy a perfect day in the beautiful countryside and discover the life of that traditional Argentinean character, the Gaucho. The main house is surrounded by a covered gallery typical of the late-Colonial period, with a richly tiled floor and cascaded steps that lead into the gardens of the park. Presiding majestically over the park is the estancia's namesake, the great ombú (Phytolaccadioca), a plant as characteristic of the pampas as the baobab is of the African savanna. It is nearly as ancient as well: gauchos have been hitching their horses to the estancia's main Ombú for over a hundred years. Centennial oaks, araucarias (monkey-puzzle trees), palms, eucalyptus, casuarinas and magnolias adorn the four-hectare (ten-acre) park, tempting guests to stroll about and enjoy the scent of gardenias, roses and lime trees. This tour is a great opportunity to learn more about the Argentinean Asado! (B, L) 

Most visitors to Buenos Aires only dine at the most touristy restaurants published in guidebooks and sadly miss out on some of the city’s most delicious gems. But on this morning’s tour, you’ll experience and taste authentic Porteño flavors: discover hole-in-the wall restaurants where the locals go, learn about Argentina’s culture and traditions, and meet others during the relaxed and social tour.

Following breakfast, you will be transferred to Buenos Aires Airport for your flight back home. (B)
