Estancia Don Joaquín Argentina

How do I start... My wife and I booked 3 days at this Estancia pretty last minute and it's one of the best things we've ever done. My wife had prior riding experience and I didn't. Angie was fantastic with organising our bus from Buenos Aires as well as explaining the activities on offer and how things can be tailored to our needs. I arrived having never ridden a horse, and left loving it. I couldn't have wished for a better place to learn. The horses are extremely well looked after with a wilderness in which to roam. If I was a horse I'd want to live here. We went on a wildlife safari to see Capybara, Cayman & lots of birds, as well as a fishing trip to catch Golden Dorado. Everything was incredible; the food, the people, the scenery, nature, pool.... I could go on! Thank you Angie, Diego & Josephina for such a magical stay ❤️

Wow where do I start, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the first to last day I was treated as royalty. The hosts and the gauchos really made me feel like I was part of a family. I met some lifelong friends, ate some of the best food I have ever eaten. Soaked in the outstanding natural beauty, horses were exceptional, well trained and well kept, the room luxurious and tremendously comfortable. The only negative I have for Escancia is having to leave this absolutely magical place.

We had a fantastic stay lasting 8 days . The trip was organised by Farandride horse riding holidays and so the focus was of course on the superb horse riding but every aspect of the stay was outstanding. Thank you to the whole family for making us feel so welcome. Argentinian barbecue, fishing, bird watching, cattle and horse herding , cookery lessons, cocktails, wine tasting- all in a wonderful luxury setting and amongst such friendly hosts. This was an experience of a lifetime.

Where do we begin ! We had the most amazing bucket list experience at the ranch and would love to return. The family the gauchos the other lovely staff who looked after us were just so friendly and helpful. The horses were fantastic and seeing them being rounded up and cantered into the hitching line every day right outside our window was spectacular. We felt so looked after and cared for and the gauchos are so skilled and experienced. My husband an experienced horse man was out with the head cattle man most rides searching for hidden cows whilst I had gentle rides with other guests. And as for the food WOW The ranch catered for vegetarian and coeliac diets when we visited and every meal was a feast. You will leave a lot heavier than you started ! An experience of a lifetime that we hope to repeat again soon ❤️

Une de mes plus belles et authentiques expériences de voyage ! Superbes balades à cheval tous les jours, accompagnés par les gauchos typiques et entourés de troupeaux de vaches et de chevaux à l’horizon ! De plus, une magnifique piscine; des repas délicieux toujours « fait maison » et une famille charmante et accueillante! Une expérience vraiment authentique et typique argentine ! Je recommande à 100% 🙌🏼

Don't have any doubts and book this place. The owners are the most incredible loving family we have ever met, their 20 staff members are the most attentive personnel. The food and drinks are 10/10 with 3 course meals. The ranch is an absolute luxury, beautiful decor with 2000 acres of beautiful land, you observe so much wildlife while riding. They have an unlimited amount of horses trained for any rider level & they provide helmets. You will watch true Gauchos in action with cattle and horses. This was the most incredible experience of my life. I highly recommend it.
