A Food Lover's Paradise

The Estancia is a true family stay which means that everything is included in your daily rate - from the lodging to the activities to the amazing meals and drinks you are offered.  I generally do not like 'all-inclusive' types of experiences so my expectation for the food was not high.  But the Beggs, being well traveled themselves, understand how important good food is to discerning visitors.  Los Potreros has a professionally trained chef and assistant who whip up some of the dreamiest things you can imagine. 

Warning: Unless you have really strong willpower, you will gain weight during your stay here BUT isn't that what vacations are for? 

Here is just a small taste of what I experienced...

For those of you that read my Destination: Argentina Post, you will recall that spending time at an authentic Argentinian ranch (estancia) was a really important wish list item for me when planning my trip.  I fortunately stumbled upon Estancia Los Portreros which far exceeded any expectation that I could of had for staying on a ranch in South America. Warning: the pictures do not do it justice!

Gaucho Style

Gauchos are the traditional cowboys of South America and can be found in Argentina as well as Uruguay & Brazil.  Their livelihood is based on taking care of cattle and horses and traditionally were a nomadic culture that went from ranch to ranch helping as needed.  They are a national symbol of Argentina, much like the US cowboys, and are known to be strong, honest, silent types, with expert horseman skills.

Mapping Out Argentina

1/2/2018

As the second largest country in South America (and the 8th largest in the world), Argentina has a lot of ground to cover - literally.  When planning my trip, it was really important to me that I get a mix of city and nature, to hit a few must-have destinations while still leaving room for things a bit off the beaten path. Loaded up on tons of visual inspiration (thanks to my VoyJoie Pinterest Boards), my first round of editing allowed me to narrow down my choices to 5 key destinations: Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Iguazu Falls, Mendoza & Patagonia.
