Our vacation to Buenos Aires was mostly spent in the city with a couple of side trips to Le Tigre and Colonia, but we wanted to experience more of the rural Argentina. My partner had written a report on gauchos and the pampas in the 4th grade and so we headed out to the country to this estancia at the... More

Between the transfer from Buenos Aires and the entry, it was an expensive day, but just the break from the city we needed. We arrived, were given a brief tour of the house, was served OK empanadas and a drink of choice (beer and wine). Then we could chose between horseback riding or a carriage ride. We loved the horseback... More

We arrived by car service from Buenos Aires and were met by a 4 wheel drive trck from the estancia on a recent Sunday. We wanted to get a taste of the gaucho lifestyle before returning home the next day. It was raining lightly but the 6 km"road" to the estancia was a sea of mud. We got about Hal... More

Although going to an Estancia was not on my bucket list, I found this visit to be the among one of the major highlights of our visit to Argentina. The food was fabulous. Lunch was literally to die for. The service was top notch. It was my birthday and the host made a special trip to town to get me... More

We spent 2 nights at the Estancia and had a lovely time. Ideal for people who wants to escape from the City and have a taste of real Gaucho Life. The team is awesome and makes you feel part of the family. The horses are beautiful and the rides in the Pampas are very enjoyable. The infinity pool makes you... More

My wife and I spent two days/two nights here during a two week trip to Argentina. We arranged with the estancia for a private car to pick us up from our hotel in Buenos Aires for the trip out. The car was early, comfortable and the driver told us about the area en route to the estancia... we would definitely... More

The room was nice, the showers leave a bit to be desired but we really weren't expecting much for accommodations anyway and we were happy with what we were provided. The common room with pool table and reading chairs was lovely and we did read here in the evenings when the bugs were plentiful outside. The part of the experience... More

After a month in Bueno Aires a short visit to the fresh air and blue skies of the pampas was in order for my wife and I. Estancia El Ombu was recommended by some Argentina friends so off we went. What a pleasant experience. There are activities if you wish to partake which include horse back riding around the estancia,... More

We really enjoyed our two days at this estancia. Great service, food and the feel of estancia life. We would recommend it for a close get away from Buenos Aires. The staff were wonderful and the food plentiful. A gem for an all inclusive. More

If you're looking for five star comfort this is not your place. But if you're after atmosphere, peace, and a wonderful experiences with horses go right ahead. This made my heart sing. Big sprawling old homestead, lovely dogs, amazing horses, and horsewhisperers (gauchos). It was not touristy. The ride was tailored for everyone, with those amazing dogs trotting along beside...
