What to do and see in San Antonio de Areco, Central Argentina: The Best Museums
A compact small town nearly 70 miles northwest of Buenos Aires, San Antonio de Areco is in the heart of the Argentine Pampas region. It’s a great 1½-hour day trip by car or bus from Buenos Aires—or the perfect jumping-off point for those who choose to visit at a nearby estancia, or a traditional large rural ranch and estate. Major attractions here include the colonial sights of San Antonio de Areco itself, the Museum of the Gaucho (which celebrates Argentine cowboys), and a variety of estancias themselves, which are located within two hours of San Antonio de Areco. If you don’t feel like planning your own itinerary, several tour and travel companies will coordinate your visit and arrange your estancia stay.

Exquisite Craftsmanship. Each piece is handcrafted, unique one-of-a-kind. My husband and I were impressed and honored to have meet Mariano Draghi. We have one of his Masterpieces.

While on a day tour to Estancia el Ombu with Camino Pampa, we visited the atelier/museum of Miguel Angel Gasparini, a preeminent Gaucho artist. Our conversation with him and viewing his art work was a class in Gaucho life and lore. As we were talking, he was sketching, when done, he presented each the three couples with an original drawing--the ultimate souvenir. Don't miss.
