Estancia La Bamba

A hours outside of Buenos Aires in an area called San Antonio de Areco, Estancia La Bamba nestles into the trees and the wide open spaces of the Pampas. It’s a working cattle ranch that was established in 1835 as a stagecoach stop. Now a days visitors from around the world can make the journey and stay on an Estancia. It’s an authentic experience run by a family that has owned La Bamba forever. Guests can ride horses or just relax and be pampered in the Pampas. We spent a few days there with a handful of other guests from the UK, Italy and Argentina. There were no Boxers at La Bamba but the ranch dogs deserve to be included. Bruno is the 4 month old Labrador puppy. He was everywhere and got into everything. Jacko is the long haired ranch dog that was calm and a trusted partner of the Gauchos. Cata is the little Jack Russel that led every horse, cow or tractor out of and into the ranch. He never stopped working. He is shown with Simon, who is a 4 year old mini-gaucho. His family own this magical ranch which we highly recommend visiting in your lifetime.
