Beschreibung & Reiseverlauf
The Estancia is a cattle farm that has been run by the same Anglo-Argentinean family for 4 generations. The Estancia is located in the Sierra Chicas at an altitude of 900m, nestled between the pampas and the Andes in the region around Cordoba. There is much evidence that Jesuits pioneered here and were the first to run organized farms before being evicted in the 1760s.
The family creates short and long horseback riding adventures for those who want to experience first hand the rural traditions and splendor of Argentina.
The estancia offers professionalism in accommodation, meals, tour guiding and horse care - above Argentinean standards - and combines this for the guests with personal attention and attention to detail. If you love wilderness and are not afraid of thrills, this is the place to experience Argentina´s wildlife, culture and landscapes up close, without sacrificing the comfort of comfortable accommodation, well-groomed horses and equipment. This is the place for people who appreciate sensitive horses and are able to ride them well. Nevertheless, riding for all abilities is offered and even beginners are introduced to the horse and riding.
Reiseverlauf
Excursions:There is a huge area to discover in the mountain range and we try to arrange the daily schedule according to the wishes of our guests, sometimes in combination with a classic car tour. Horseback riding takes place around the estancia, with occasional 2-day rides to neighbouring estancias.
Other activities:Apart from horseback riding, there are many other activities to do, such as hiking in the mountains and along the rivers, watching exotic birds, mountain biking, golf or relaxing by the pool. There are also 3 golf courses in the area. Although the farm is a bit remote, you can take a taxi for shopping to Rio Ceballos (13km), La Falda (17km) or La Cumbre (35km). Cordoba City (55km) is an interesting lively university city and the main connection between Lima (Peru) and Buenos Aires.
The region is rich in churches that reflect the importance of religion. Well known places are the National Jesuit Museum in Jesus Maria (1618), the Estancia Sta. Catalina (founded 1662), and the Embalse San Roque (lake that supplies Cordoba City with water).
The Folklore Festival in Cosquin and the Rodeo in Jesus Maria, as well as the cattle market and the cattle burning are annual spectacles here.
Example of a week: You should expect 4-6 hours riding time per day, possibly more to reach the planned destination. Usually there is a longer ride in the morning and a shorter one in the afternoon.
Unterkunft
The lovingly furnished rooms reflect the charm of the entire estancia and offer a lot of comfort. Due to the enormous ceiling height, the room climate is also very pleasant in summer.
