Paradores Draghi is the ideal corner for those who enjoy the cultural attractions offered by a place. There you will access a tour through the sumptuous space where you can see a vast collection of pieces of rural goldsmithing of the nineteenth century, which reveals the mysteries of a period of national identity consecration of the figure of the Gaucho as a main character of that time.In Paradores Draghi begin your journey through history not only as a spectator, but also as a participant in the process of making exclusive goldsmith pieces that take shape through the hands of artisans recreating the techniques of traditional goldsmithing as their founder, Juan Jos Draghi, did in the 60s.Once you get to the town, you will enjoy a tour of the village including a walk around the historical downtown of the city.
Located on Segundo Sombra Street, between Alsina and Arrellano. Don Jos Ruiz de Arellano founded the first oratory in the center of his stay. The foundation of this oratory was very important for the creation of the town. In the years 1720 and 1728, the first chapel was built, it was located a little more to the right than the current one. 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.
In the grocery and drinks store, the peasants and country people who came to the town to provide themselves and do errands to the cereal house, the store, the doctor, the bank, used to meet. There "stopped" Don Segundo Ramrez, the gaucho who was later a character in the novel by Ricardo Giraldes.
Make your way to the exclusive El Ombu de Areco Estancia. At this place, you will have a chance to take rides on horses or go for a ride in a carriage while enjoying some traditional cold cuts, cheeses and beverages. Then, you will enjoy a typical Argentinian barbeque of the finest meats. While you have dessert, you will be able to see a folklore show followed by a demonstration of gaucho skills.

    I recently spent a day on this tour with friends. The overall experience was amazing - unlike anything I had done before - and it was truly special to experience an authentic Gaucho ranch and lifestyle. The meal was fantastic and the food just didn't stop coming! Horse riding was also great fun, and the 'horse whispering' was really impressive. The day was made even better by our fantastic tour guide Sabrina, who took every opportunity to explain everything around us for the whole day. Her attentive nature, great conversation and fun personality was a great reflection of the day as a whole.

    This was a gorgeous once-in-a-lifetime experience. We loved it! Our guide, Myriam Sosa, was wonderful. She was friendly and super knowledgeable. She engaged everyone on our tour including from my kids (ages 10 and 14) to my parents (in their 80's). Our group included people from the US, Ireland, Canada and Argentina, and we all loved it. We rode horses, my parents danced a milonga, we ate wonderful food, we enjoyed the surroundings, we learned a lot -- we all agreed it was the perfect end to our vacation in Buenos Aires. Highly recommend this wonderful tour!!

    From start to finish this was an amazing experience! Our guide, Sabrina, was so knowledgeable and fun- she did a terrific job! It couldn’t have been easier since they pick you up and drop you off at the hotel. The food at the estancia is amazing as is the wine and service. We had a lot of fun exploring the ranch, the horseback riding was such a fun bonus as well! Would highly recommend this excursion from Buenos Aires. Pro tip: skip breakfast and come hungry! There is a ton of food!

    Our day at the San Antonio de Areco Estancia was wonderful! The company confirmed our reservation the day before, and promptly picked us at the designated time. As we were on our way to the Estancia, our tour guide, Pedro, gave us a tour and history of Buenos Aires. He was very informative, funny and engaging with all the tourists that were on the tour. The horse back riding, parrillada and the guacho show were phenomenal! My husband and I had a great day, met some very nice people, and probably ate more than we should have! Highly recommend!

    Este dia no pudo ser mejor... Tuvimos el placer de ser guiado por Nicolas Bronzini, con Gaston de conductor. Nicolas es muy atento y tiene un conocimiento historico de Buenos Aires como ningun otro. En cuanto conducimos el nos explicaba la historia de los gauchos y costumbres del estilo de vida distinta a la de la cuidad de Buenos Aires. La estancia estuvo increible, aun llegamos, nos brindaron unas empanadas de carne molida muy ricas, hechas en casa, acompañado con una copa de cerveza. Luego montamos unos caballos que estan muy buen quidados ya se conocen la ruta del tour. Fue bastante facil (como una persona que no monta caballo). Luego comimos un asado completo con variedades de ensalada y vegetales con vino tinto que tambien estuvo delicioso. Al terminar comer, los gauchos y las chinas nos invitaron a ver un baile tipico de ellos y tambien una exibicion de uno de los gauchos acariciando a uno de los caballos- cuanta belleza! Luego invitaron al grupo a bailar y la pasamos muy divertidos. Les recomiendo esta experiencia a todos- parejas, viajeros solos, y familias. Es algo que nunca olvidare. Gracias, Nicolas! Eres lo maximo! Hasta la proxima. -Familia Ramos de NY/NJ, USA

    Yesterday, my husband and I spent a great time at la estancia. We had a typical Gaucho day! First, we had a stop at San Antonio de Areco, where our guide showed us the town. Then, we went to la Estancia where they were waiting for us with a tasty and typical asado! It was delicious! we also enjoyed the local dances! we spent an excellent time from the beginning!
