Day 21 - January 26 - San Antonio de Areco





Today we visited a gaucho estancia (ranch), several hours outside of Buenos Aires. We stopped first in the town of San Antonio de Areco, at the workshop of a traditional silversmith. Then we drove to the estancia, where we were treated to a display of horsemanship by the gauchos. The students then mounted horses, for a short ride around the ranch grounds. After a lovely asado (dinner of grilled meats), it was time to return to the youth hostel.
