The Pampas

Birth Place And Land Of The Gaucho

The Pampas are the historic lands of the Gaucho, the native cowboys, and who are still present today practising the traditional ways passed down through generations. With over 100,000 square miles of countryside that run from Buenos Aires to Cordoba, the Pampas offer a number of traditional estancias and pretty historic towns that offer a taste of the authentic and 'real' Argentina.

Each estancia offers something unique and they range from the simple and rustic to the luxurious and stylish. The best way to experience an Estancia is to stay for a few days and immerse yourself in their way of life. You can enjoy an abundance of horse riding and activities like polo, hiking to isolated colonial villages, cycling around the surrounding countryside or helping the gauchos to care for the livestock.

The Area

The Pampas occupy a vast 100,000 square miles of countryside and each Estancia sits in its own area. Most estancias include full board and many of the activities. The nearest airports are in Buenos Aires and transfers can take anything from 1-3 hours depending on the estancias location.

Best Time to Go

Temperatures in summer (Nov - Feb) can reach highs of 30°C in the sunshine so for sightseeing we would ideally recommend spring (Sep - Nov) or autumn (Feb - Apr) when temperatures are a little cooler, but the area can be visited all year round.
