I went for two days at La Porteña de Areco to relax after several weeks of road trip and upon the recommendation of friends. I discovered a historical estancia located in a wonderful park surrounded by many horses and taken care of with love by Gonzalo and Catalina. They will take the best care of you and give you a glimpse of what best Argentina has to offer. Make sure you stop there if you go to San Antonio de Areco. And make sure you stop there even if you don't.
