Estancias of Córdoba (from Buenos Aires)

In the highlands of Cordoba, traditional estancias provide a fascinating insight into rural Argentinian life, and the chance to live like a gaucho, if only for a few days, is a truly immersive experience. With the Sierras as a constant backdrop, a stay in one of these working estates might include days spent horse riding, trekking, mountain biking and playing polo or simply relaxing by the pool as the hours drift slowly by. For our suggested tour, we’ve included a choice of estancias – the family-run Los Potreros (Superior) famed for its rustic dining and excellent horse riding, or the El Colibri by Relais & Chateaux (Deluxe) whose golf course, outdoor pool, sauna and hammam invite almost endless relaxation.
